Bayern Munich finished their Bundesliga season on a high note with a 4-0 away victory against Hoffenheim. This match was especially significant as it marked the final appearance of Thomas Muller, who has spent his entire senior career at Bayern. The 35-year-old midfielder has won 13 league titles and two European Cups with the club. His contract ends this summer, bringing an end to an era. Muller played his 503rd Bundesliga match, moving him to 12th on the league’s all-time appearance list. He was substituted after 60 minutes to a standing ovation.
Michael Olise opened the scoring for Bayern with a free-kick in the 33rd minute. His curling shot passed the Hoffenheim wall and beat the goalkeeper at the near post. Early in the second half, Hoffenheim’s Andrej Kramaric had a chance to equalize but failed to score when one-on-one with Bayern’s goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. Despite scoring eight times against Bayern in his career, he missed this crucial opportunity. Joshua Kimmich then doubled Bayern’s lead with a deflected shot close to goal. Serge Gnabry added a third with a low strike from the edge of the penalty box. Harry Kane sealed the win with his 26th Bundesliga goal.
Eric Dier also made his last appearance for Bayern in this match. He will leave the club on a free transfer to join Monaco after his contract expires. Leroy Sane came on as a late substitute amid rumors of a possible summer exit. Bayern finished the Bundesliga season 13 points ahead of second-placed Bayer Leverkusen. Hoffenheim avoided relegation after Heidenheim lost to Werder Bremen on the final day, ensuring their place in the top division next season.
Thomas Muller’s departure ends a remarkable career at Bayern Munich. Over 16 seasons, he has been a key player in the club’s success. His 13 Bundesliga titles and two Champions League trophies underline his achievements. Known for his smart play and goal-scoring from midfield, Muller has been a leader on and off the field.
With Muller and Dier leaving, Bayern faces a period of transition. The club will look to build on this season’s success while adjusting to the loss of key players. Harry Kane’s strong form offers hope for the future. Leroy Sane’s situation remains uncertain as transfer talks continue.
Bayern’s dominant season and Muller’s farewell highlight the changing landscape at the club. Hoffenheim can now focus on strengthening their team for the next Bundesliga campaign. The final day of the season brought drama and excitement, showing how competitive the league remains.
