Bayern Munich finished their Bundesliga season with a strong 4–0 victory against Hoffenheim on Saturday in Sinsheim. This match was special as it marked the final appearance of club legend Thomas Müller. The 35-year-old forward has spent his entire professional career with Bayern and will leave the club after his contract ends this summer.
Müller played for 60 minutes before being substituted and received a warm farewell from the fans. He made his 503rd Bundesliga appearance, ranking 12th among the league’s most frequent players. Throughout his career, Müller won 13 Bundesliga titles and two Champions League trophies with Bayern.
After Müller left the field, Harry Kane entered the match to keep Bayern’s attack strong. Michael Olise scored the first goal in the 33rd minute with a beautiful free-kick that curled past the wall and into the net. Hoffenheim had chances in the second half, but their striker Andrej Kramarić missed a one-on-one opportunity against Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
Joshua Kimmich then scored Bayern’s second goal with a shot that deflected off a defender. Serge Gnabry added a third with a low and powerful shot from the edge of the penalty area. Harry Kane completed the scoring with his 26th league goal, ending the season on a high note for the English striker.
Eric Dier played his last game for Bayern before moving to AS Monaco on a free transfer. Leroy Sané came on late in the match, but there is still speculation about his future at the club. Bayern Munich finished the season 13 points ahead of second-place Bayer Leverkusen, showing their dominance in the league.
Hoffenheim’s loss did not affect their position too much, as they avoided the relegation play-off thanks to Heidenheim losing to Werder Bremen. Bayern now look ahead to the new season with a mix of experienced players and new talent, preparing for more success both in Germany and Europe.
