Saying Goodbye: Thomas Müller's Emotional Exit from FC Bayern after 25 Years
Bayern Munich presents Thomas Müller with a parting token
it's time to wave farewell to Thomas Müller, legendary footballer of FC Bayern Munich, who's been with the team for an incredible 25 years. This emotional chapter marks the end of an era for the Bavarian giants, and for Müller, his career with the club.
Müller's swansong came in his final home game at the Allianz Arena, a Bundesliga match against Borussia Mönchengladbach on May 10, 2025. The date was significant, not only for it being the 20th anniversary of the Allianz Arena, but also as FC Bayern celebrated Müller's 25 years with the club. A one-of-a-kind commemorative away kit featured his name to honor his lengthy association with the club [1][2].
Bavarian fans showered Müller with heartfelt tributes, including a massive tifo showcasing his picture and caption, "25 years everything for our colors!" Pre-match, Müller received a picture of all the trophies he'd won with the team. In a poignant moment, he shouted, "Let us play!" as he held the photo and a bouquet of flowers at the sideline, connecting with the fans one last time at home [5].
On the pitch, Müller helped Bayern clinch another Bundesliga title, breaking his own record with an unprecedented 13th league championship, demonstrating the central role he'd played in the team's dominance [1][5].
Müller's footballing excellence is only rivaled by his longevity at the club, earning him an iconic status in Bayern’s history and German football overall [1].
As he embarks on a new journey offering fresh challenges, Bayern's sporting director, Christoph Freund, and teammate Joshua Kimmich, maintain that Müller's passion and drive haven't waned and believe he will continue playing professionally beyond Bayern Munich [4].
Together, we bid farewell to an extraordinary talent who's left an indelible mark on FC Bayern Munich. Though the conclusion of his tenure at the club is bittersweet, Müller's legacy on soccer's grand stage will continue to inspire generations to come [1][2][4][5].
