🇩🇪 Thomas Müller Bids Emotional Farewell to Bayern Munich After Legendary Career

By Emmanuel Austin Baah Last updated Jul 5, 2025

Bayern Munich have officially said goodbye to club legend Thomas Müller following their exit from the FIFA Club World Cup. The 35-year-old German international brought down the curtain on his glittering 25-year journey with the Bavarian giants in what marks the end of one of the most iconic careers in modern football.

Müller, who made his final appearance in Bayern’s quarter-final defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, leaves behind a monumental legacy both statistically and emotionally.

🔴 Career Highlights with Bayern Munich:

Total Matches: 756

Goals: 250

Assists: 276

Total Goal Contributions: 526

Major Titles Won: 33

🏆 Trophy Cabinet:

13× Bundesliga Champion

8× German Super Cup Winner

6× DFB-Pokal (German Cup) Winner

2× UEFA Champions League Winner

2× UEFA Super Cup Winner

2× FIFA Club World Cup Winner

1× FIFA World Cup Winner (2014, with Germany)

Renowned for his intelligence on the pitch, Müller coined his own playing role as a Raumdeuter—the “interpreter of space”—and redefined how the game could be played from a forward midfield position.

As Bayern Munich officially bid farewell, tributes have poured in from fans, teammates and legends across the footballing world. Club CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen described Müller as “irreplaceable and eternal,” while supporters at the Allianz Arena gave him a standing ovation during his last home match earlier this season.

Though Müller has not yet confirmed retirement from professional football, he is reported to be exploring offers from Major League Soccer (MLS), with Inter Miami and LAFC among the interested clubs. Whether he continues playing abroad or begins a new chapter off the pitch, his impact on the game—and on Bayern Munich—will remain timeless.
