Vinny the Macaw's Unxpected Debut at Bayern's Championship Celebration
Surprising appearance of prominent figure at Bayern championship celebration
Twitter Instagram LinkedIn Reddit Telegram
With Thomas Müller and the championship trophy stealing the show at Bayern's victory party, Vincent Kompany decided to bring a surprising "guest star" to the mix. The confetti raining down in the Allianz Arena gave way to a kitschy macaw statue perched on the podium where the trophy had stood just moments before. But what's the deal with this feathered friend?
Speculation filled the airwaves, even leaving Lothar Matthäus scratching his head. Yet, later, he shed some light on the situation: "Vinny, the beloved macaw, had been lounging at the Kafer restaurant when Bayern claimed their 34th title. It was so darn charming that it became the team mascot and came along for the festivities."
Despite attempts to find out who had swiped the bird, neither Jonas Urbig nor Jamal Musiala were forthcoming: "I didn't swipe it," insisted Urbig while Musiala kept mum, flashing a secretive wink: "It's my first time laying eyes on Mr. Vinny." The party went on - with Vinny. "We'll get him back," promised Kompany.
Müller's Emotional Sendoff in Blue and White
In a twist of fate, Müller himself was awarded the trophy instead of regular captain Manuel Neuer. Neuer graciously allowed his departing comrade the moment of triumph after an impressive 25-year run with FC Bayern. The Bavarian side had secured a 2-0 (1-0) victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach, thanks to goals from Harry Kane and Michael Olise.
Müller's tearful farewell at his "home" with FC Bayern was as heartwarming and dramatic as he had imagined: complete with championship number thirteen, a torrent of emotions, fireworks - but no tears. At 8:38 PM, the championship trophy last held by Bayer Leverkusen the year before was back in the hands of FC Bayern. Müller and his teammates leapt for joy in the confetti storm following his final home game and his 750th competitive match for the club.
