Thomas Müller has sealed a record-extending 13th Bundesliga title — the most by any player in history — as Bayern Munich reclaimed the domestic crown in what is his final season with the club.
The 35-year-old icon will end his 25-year association with the Bavarian giants this summer, having first joined the club’s youth system at the age of 10. His latest title triumph comes after Bayern dethroned Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen, who ended the club’s 11-year title streak last season. With two games remaining in the 2024/25 campaign, Bayern’s return to the top has already been secured.
Müller featured 28 times this season, contributing five goal involvements in a campaign that saw him play a key role in Bayern’s resurgence. His Bundesliga career now spans 501 appearances — a club record — with 150 goals and 178 assists to his name.
Alongside his unmatched domestic success, Müller has won a glittering haul of honours, including:
2x UEFA Champions League titles
6x DFB-Pokal (German Cup) titles
2x UEFA Super Cups
2x FIFA Club World Cups
8x German Supercups
1x FIFA World Cup
Having lifted his first Bundesliga title in 2009/10, Müller was briefly denied further success by Jürgen Klopp’s Borussia Dortmund in 2010/11 and 2011/12, before Bayern embarked on a decade-long dominance of the league. After last season’s third-place finish behind Leverkusen and Stuttgart, the club’s return to glory is seen as a fitting send-off for their longest-serving player.
Müller will make his final Bundesliga appearance for Bayern on Matchday 34, when the newly-crowned champions travel to Hoffenheim. He is also expected to feature at the expanded FIFA Club World Cup in the USA this summer (14 June – 13 July), though his long-term future beyond that tournament remains undecided.
Bayern have confirmed that Müller’s unparalleled contribution will be honoured with a testimonial match and a series of commemorative events. With 749 competitive appearances to date, he will depart as the most decorated and most capped player in Bayern Munich’s illustrious history.
As one era ends, Müller’s legacy — on and off the pitch — is set in stone.
