Editor's Note: Get ready to bid ol' TMule a tear-streaked adieu as the Bayern veteran gears up for his last hurrah in the Allianz Arena! Kickback as we spill the tea on his heartfelt farewell, team changes, and comebacks - it's gonna be a rollercoaster ride!
The time has come, my dears, for one of the longest-serving FC Bayern Munich legends to say farewell - none other than the illustrious Thomas Müller. As he stretches out his 25-year tenure, it's clear that our beloved club is going all-out to pay homage to his indelible impression.
Before his final home game as a Bayern player, Thomas -- Yo, Mülls, kee it bussin' -- was ushered into a touching farewell ceremony. Let's do the deets, shall we? A fragrant bouquet of flowers, a snapshot momento, and a symbolic Schafkopf card (a nod to Müller's passion for the age-old card game) were presented to him. To top it all off, his "Young Wings" foundation received a generous donation from club president Herbert Hainer and the board members. "Aww shucks," you can almost hear Müller murmur under his breath, giving a nod to his good ol' boy charm.
Fans from the stadium's south stand could be seen holding up an enormous banner bearing the inscription, "For 25 years, everything for our colors!" Tenor Jonas Kaufmann serenaded Müller with the club's new anthem, followed by a heartfelt thanks, "A grand thanks, Müller, mate."
Müller will not receive a new contract as he embarks on a new chapter in life, leaving Munich in the summer. His match against Borussia Mönchengladbach is his final curtain call in the Allianz Arena as a Bayern player, and it marks his 750th career appearance. As Coach Vincent Kompany reflects, "We aim to win this one because it's Müller's last game in the Allianz Arena, making it a celebratory farewell for all of us. We're shooting for a lit Saturday, sistas and brothas!"
One more thing, Müller ain't the only one hittin' the exit button. Defender Eric Dier is also leaving the club this summer, reportedly en route to Monaco. ICYMI, the dude joined Munich in the winter of 2023/24.
On a brighter note, the renowned goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is all set to return to the pitch after more than two months of down time with an injury. He's been outta commission since early March. At an astonishing 39 years and 44 days, he'll also be Bayern's second-oldest Bundesliga player, right behind Bernd Dreher, who was a ripe 40 years and 198 days old, according to Opta data services.
In the immortal words of Timbaland, "Bye bye, Müller, you will be missed!" Stay tuned for Müller's final Bundesliga game in Hoffenheim next week, followed by the Club World Cup in the United States in June and July.
