Thomas Müller's upcoming departure from FC Bayern Munich, following a 25-year stand, will leave an indelible mark on both the club and the Bundesliga. Müller, a cornerstone of Bayern's success story and German football's renewed might, is more than just a player — he's a symbol. Let's look at the various impacts his exit could have on the league.
Losing a Leader and a Pillar
Müller has played a pivotal role in Bayern's leadership and has provided valuable insights and guidance on and off the pitch. His departure will necessitate some adjustments in team dynamics, potentially prompting other players to step up and shoulder more responsibility.
