Thomas Müller has won his 13th Bundesliga title with Bayern Munich. On Saturday, the team received the Meisterschale after securing the title last Sunday.
What happened?
The result was sealed after Bayer Leverkusen's 2-2 draw against SC Freiburg, allowing Bayern to win the title before their 2-0 victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach.
The game had a testimonial atmosphere for Müller, with 75,000 fans attending the sold-out Allianz Arena. Harry Kane and Michael Olise scored the goals, with Olise being the best player on the pitch.
Why it matters for Thomas Müller
Müller will still play in the away game at Hoffenheim and the FIFA Club World Cup with Bayern in the United States this summer. However, Saturday's game felt like his real goodbye party from the only club he has ever known.
Born in Weilheim in Oberbayern, Müller joined Bayern Munich's youth setup in 2000. He had his big breakthrough in the 2009/10 season under head coach Louis van Gaal, scoring 13 goals and 11 assists in 34 Bundesliga games.
What comes next?
The Rekordmeister is working hard to bring in Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen to fill the void left by Müller. Michael Olise will also play a major role in the future, having scored 11 goals and 17 assists in the Bundesliga this season.
Müller has won 34 trophies, including 13 Bundesliga titles, the Champions League twice, and the FIFA Club World Cup twice. He has also managed 45 goals in 131 games for Germany.
On Saturday, Müller lifted Die Meisterschale as the first Bayern player into the Munich night sky, with Manuel Neuer handing him the honor. After the game, Müller headed to the Südkurve with the trophy, marking the end of an era for the club icon.
Müller's impressive career statistics include 248 goals and 274 assists in 750 games for Bayern Munich. His legacy will continue to be felt at the club, and his departure will be deeply felt by the fans.
The future of Bayern Munich is uncertain without Müller, but the team is working hard to bring in new talent to fill the void. One thing is certain, however - Thomas Müller will always be remembered as a club icon and a legend of the sport.
