Thomas Müller, a legendary icon of FC Bayern, was given a heartfelt farewell as he prepared for his last home game. Bayern's adoration for their longtime player was more than evident, as they sprinkled his day with flowers, gifts, fan chants, and a special Schafkopf card in homage.
This symbolic Schafkopf card that found its way into Müller's hands during the ceremony carries not just cultural relevance but personal significance too. Schafkopf, a renowned German card game, is vastly popular in Bavaria, where people play it not just to win, but for camaraderie, companionship, and shared social experiences. So, this card represents Müller's deep integration into the Bayern community and his strong bond with the region.
As Müller bids farewell to Bayern this summer, the club presented him with a picture, flowers, and a donation for his “Young Wings” foundation, along with a framed picture from the opposition. The match against Borussia Mönchengladbach would be his last in the Allianz Arena as a Bayern player and his 750th overall. Coach Vincent Kompany expressed his feelings by stating, "We want to win because it's Thomas Müller's last game in the Allianz Arena. It's a celebration for everyone. We want the perfect Saturday."
Meanwhile, defender Eric Dier was also bid farewell as he prepares to depart for the summer. Dier is reportedly moving to Monaco, according to consistent media reports. Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer makes his comeback after over two months of injury, becoming the second-oldest Bundesliga player for FC Bayern since Bernd Dreher.
