Bayern Munich Bid Thomas Muller An Emotional Farewell At Final Home Game: WATCH
Last Updated:
Muller was subbed off with seven minutes remaining, hugging his teammates as reserves and members of staff rushed to form a guard of honour.
Harry Kane opened the scoring ahead of lifting his first career silverware as Bayern Munich beat Borussia Moenchengladbach 2-0, with veteran Thomas Mueller playing his last home game for the club.
Bayern officially won the title on Sunday when defending champions Bayer Leverkusen were held to a 2-2 draw at Freiburg, but were presented with the Bundesliga shield in front of their home fans at full-time.
In his 750th game in all competitions for the club, Mueller — who will leave Bayern after 25 years in the summer — went close to scoring but had his shot saved in the 57th minute.
The 35-year-old was subbed off with seven minutes remaining, hugging his teammates as reserves and members of staff rushed to form a guard of honour.
Mueller won a record 13 Bundesliga titles and two Champions Leagues at Bayern.

Speaking with Sky Germany, Mueller said: 'I can't really work it through in my mind at the moment," but said he was touched by '75,000 hearts which were beating just a little bit for me".
Kane opened the scoring 31 minutes in, heading in a curling Michael Olise shot for his 25th goal of the league campaign.
With Bayern lacking their usual energy, Gladbach had several chances to equalise but were let down by poor finishing. Olise tapped in from close range to score a goal of his own in the final minute, sealing the occasion.
Kane's long-time England and Tottenham teammate Eric Dier, who will join Monaco in the summer, was also given a send-off before the match.

European game generated 38 bln euros in 2023-24 season, study shows
Europe's soccer market grew by 8% in terms of revenue in the 2023-24 season to 38 billion euros ($43.46 billion) with England's Premier League generating the most, Deloitte said in a study published on Wednesday. In its Annual Review of Football Finance, Deloitte said the top five leagues — Premier League, Bundesliga, LaLiga, Serie A and Ligue 1 — generated 20.4 billion euros in revenue, an increase of 4%. Premier League clubs had the highest revenue of Europe's top leagues at 6.3 billion pounds ($8.50 billion). However, the traditional 'big six' clubs in England's top flight reported lower average revenue growth (3%) than other clubs that were in the Premier League in both the 2023-24 and 2022-23 seasons (11%). The study said the growth was largely driven by expansion of clubs' commercial offerings, which also led to the teams cumulatively generating more than two billion pounds in commercial revenue for the first time. 'A focus on stadia development and diversification of commercial revenues led to growth across the European football market in the 2023-24 season,' Tim Bridge, lead partner in Deloitte's Sports Business Group, said. 'However, clubs and leagues cannot afford to take their eye off the ball as new challenges, including an evolving regulatory landscape and changing fan behaviours, arise. 'The pressure is mounting for more clubs to drive additional revenue at the same time as managing rising costs. 'More so than ever, leaders and owners must recognise the great responsibility they have of managing these businesses, capturing the historic essence of a football club while honouring its unrivalled role as a community asset for generations to come.' Clubs in Europe's 'big five' leagues reported an aggregate operating profit (0.6 billion euros) for a second successive season, while the aggregate wages/revenue ratio fell from 66% to 64%. WSL REVENUE SOARS Clubs in England's Women's Super League (WSL) jointly generated revenue of 65 million pounds in the 2023-24 season, a 34% rise. Each WSL club had a double-digit increase in revenue, while all 12 clubs reported over one million pounds in revenue for the first time, with an average revenue of 5.4 million pounds. 'Through developing more robust fan engagement strategies, strong commercial deals and securing central distributions, WSL clubs unlocked a new phase of growth,' Deloitte Sports Business group's knowledge and insights lead Jennifer Haskel said. 'Plus, as the reporting and attribution of commercial revenue remains inconsistent between clubs, we may be scratching the surface on the value now being generated by the women's game.'
