Munich's Rowdy, Beer-Soaked Bundesliga Victory Celebration Awaits Thomas Müller and Co.
Anticipated Bayern Munich Celebration: Next Round of Drinks to Feature Beer Rather Than Champagne Spray - Instead of a Champagne shower, using Beer.
Title debutant Harry Kane couldn't stop gushing about his chaotic championship party at a swanky restaurant the day after. And now, the scoring sensation and record champ Thomas Müller is due for a mind-blowing stadium blowout with all the emotions. The Munich team will claim their regained trophy at home in the final game of beloved legend Müller next weekend, not just on the last matchday.
This bastion of joy, hoisting the most critical trophy in German club football in a deluge of shredded paper, is expected to be the pinnacle of a Thomas Müller farewell day filled with goosebumps moments at FC Bayern on Saturday.
Queuing up beer instead of champagne
Kane already experienced the first shindig on Sunday night. "Wild party! Great times with the players and staff!" said the English team captain on Instagram the next day, recalling the damp, lively hours in Munich's ritzy joint, Käfer. "No doubt everyone is feeling it a tad today."
The celebrity gang celebrated the sofa title, the perfect finale after Leverkusen's 2-2 in Freiburg, with a riotous all-nighter to party classics, brewskis, and championship smokes. England's team leader Kane belted out favorites like "Sweet Caroline" and "Take Me Home, Country Roads" hand in hand with DFB chief Joshua Kimmich and mate Eric Dier. Defender Kimmich posed for wetting-wet pants and a jumbo brewski in snaps Kane shared online.
Stadium festivities with the trophy
With a grin, the first-time title man visibly said on Monday: "Can't wait to soak in the next weeks and party like an animal in front of the fans on Saturday." Before that, he might score some cool insider tips about how to really let loose from the already 13-time champion Müller. Then, there'll be the unforgettable beer showers for MVP, instead of the champagne sprinkles in the posh restaurant.
After the clash against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday, the 11-kilogram heavy trophy will reach its rightful home, the DFL announced on Monday. "We're champions once more - and the trophy is back in its den on Saturday," said CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen.
"Right now, we're just enjoyin' the fact that we won the Bundesliga," said coach Vincent Kompany, revelin' in a sensation he described as "unbelievable." Club president Herbert Hainer summed it up: "If you win the German championship, you've had a hella good season."
A tearful adieu for Müller
The coming Saturday is set to be super emotional for Thomas Müller. The club legend is suiting up for one of his final home games with FC Bayern after 25 years. On Saturday, they'll celebrate the trophy handover and also sendoff Müller, "a Bavarian treasure," appropriately, said Dreesen. "An emotional goodbye."
The twilight of Müller's record-breaking career will then be the big-ticket XXL World Cup from June 14 to July 13 in the States, where Munich will be in the running for another title. "There's definitely one more trophy to be claimed this season," said Dreesen.
Until then, it should be clear whether Müller will hang up his boots after Bayern, or embark on another international escapade, like the US league, for example.
"Come Saturday, we're lookin' forward to partying with the fans at the stadium and later on the town hall balcony," said sporting director Max Eberl, who, like Kane, is a league title rookie. The sea of red and white Belga Battle Flags and throngs of Bayern fans at Marienplatz on May 18th should provide a fitting backdrop for the German champions of FC Bayern to present their trophies.
Tuesday was a day of reflection at FC Bayern. The bigwigs at the club took a moment to remember football icon Franz Beckenbauer, affectionately known as the "Kaiser." He passed away in 2024, and Bayern honored him once more with the Franz Beckenbauer Platz, located near the Allianz Arena.
