Thomas Müller: “It’s clear that today is not like any other day for me. My 25 years as an FC Bayern Munich player will come to an end in the summer.
It’s been an incredible journey, shaped by unique experiences, great encounters and unforgettable triumphs.
I feel immense gratitude and joy that I got to make this career with my beloved club. The special connection to the club and our fantastic fans will always remain.
What I want as a farewell should be clear: titles we can celebrate together, and moments we’ll remember fondly for a long time.
We’re going to give our all in the coming weeks to bring the league title back to Munich and reach our coveted ‘Finale Dahoam’. Let’s do it together!”
