After 25 years, this club pillar is moving on from Bayern this summer.
With mere moments before the commencement of his last home game as a soccer player for FC Bayern, Thomas Müller experienced an impromptu farewell in a touching ceremony. He was gifted a vase of flowers and a picture, along with a symbolic Sheepshead card and a donation to his "Young Wings" foundation from club president Herbert Hainer and the three executive vice-presidents. Borussia Mönchengladbach's opponents showed their appreciation for Müller with a framed picture. Müller's penchant for Sheepshead is no secret, making the singular card a priceless and personal keepsake for the 35-year-old.
Supporters in the south stand of the auditorium paid homage to the veteran with a colossal Thomas Müller banner and the inscription: "For 25 years, everything for our colors!" Tenor Jonas Kaufmann performed the new club anthem live and later expressed his gratitude, saying, "A thousand thanks, Thomas."
After 25 years with the Bayern, with most of it as a professional, Müller did not secure a new contract and will depart Munich in the summer. The game against Mönchengladbach is his final performance in the Allianz Arena as a Bayern player and his 750th overall. "We aim to win because it's Thomas Müller's last game in the Allianz Arena and a celebration for everyone. We desire the ideal Saturday," stated coach Vincent Kompany. The Bayern will also receive the championship trophy upon Müller's departure. Next Saturday, there is still the final Bundesliga matchday in Hoffenheim, followed by the Club World Cup in the USA in June and July.
