Berlin: In his final competitive home game, a 2-0 victory over Monchengladbach, Thomas Muller delivered a fitting farewell at Munich's Allianz Arena.

The 35-year-old icon hugged teammates, danced on the pitch, and carried the Bundesliga trophy into the heart of Bayern Munich's fans, leading chants and basking in their adoration.

"I loved to be a modern gladiator," said Muller, who amassed 34 titles in 25 years at Bayern, making him Germany's most decorated player alongside Real Madrid legend Toni Kroos. "Footballers love the smell of grass," he added.

After lifting the 2025 Bundesliga trophy -- his 13th -- ahead of captain Harry Kane, Muller acknowledged the emotional weight of the moment "for me and for you, but we knew it was going to come."

While rumors swirl about a potential move to MLS, Muller closed his Bayern chapter with humor, sharing a darkly comic funeral-themed joke: "There was a father near his death... Mum said the cake is for after the funeral." The crowd erupted in laughter as he quipped, "thanks for listening to Radio Muller for so long."
