Bayern Munich will host Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday evening for their final home game of the season, making it an emotional occasion for the fans and players alike. Notably, this match will mark the last time Thomas Müller plays in a competitive match at Allianz Arena, where the Meisterschale will also be presented post-game, allowing Harry Kane to celebrate his first trophy with the club.
Müller plans to address the fans after the match, adding to the emotional weight of the evening. Despite the festivities, Vincent Kompany, the team’s coach, has assured that he is fully focused on the game. The Munich squad will be without key players: Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, Dayot Upamecano, and Hiroki Ito. Nevertheless, fans can look forward to the iconic pairing of Manuel Neuer, making his comeback as goalkeeper, alongside Müller on the pitch one last time.
The defensive lineup will feature Guerreiro, Stanisic, Dier, and Laimer, while Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka will anchor the midfield. The attacking trio is expected to include Michael Olise, Kingsley Coman, and Müller, with Kane leading the front line.
A grand choreographed tribute to Müller’s extraordinary career is set to take place in the South Stand before the match. After the official ceremony, the celebration will continue at a nearby club with around 200 invited guests paying their respects to Müller, honoring over two decades marked by loyalty, success, and unforgettable moments.
This match serves not only as a farewell to one of Bayern’s biggest legends but also as a celebration of the team’s achievements, making it a promising conclusion to the season for the Bayern faithful. Each moment is expected to resonate with the fans, ushering in a new era while cherishing the legacy Müller leaves behind.
