After his farewell match in the Club World Cup, Thomas Muller bid a final goodbye to Bayern Munich’s supporters.<\/p>\n

His remarkable journey with the German club has come to an end.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old Muller concluded his illustrious career following a 2-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Entering as a substitute in the 80th minute, Muller seemed to have won a penalty when PSG’s Nuno Mendes tackled him in the box.<\/p>\n

However, video reviews showed Mendes had made contact with the ball first, confirming PSG’s victory.<\/p>\n

“I’m still fully focused,” Muller remarked. “It feels similar to my previous experiences before this match. I was also eager for one more round.”<\/p>\n

He wasn’t ready to reflect on his extraordinary career at Bayern, which began when he joined the club at just 10 years old in 2000.<\/p>\n

“In the end, we might have deserved more,” Muller stated. “But in closely contested matches, it can go either way. And yes, we lost.”<\/p>\n

With more appearances than any other Bayern player, Muller scored over 200 goals and assisted on more than 200 as well. He led the team to a record 13 Bundesliga titles, culminating in a championship run last season.<\/p>\n

However, Bayern announced in April that he would not be extending his contract for another season.<\/p>\n

“I am aware this is my last match and I’ll be reflecting on my thoughts in the coming days,” Muller noted.<\/p>\n

Future plans remain undisclosed, but reports suggest potential interest from Major League Soccer in the U.S.<\/p>\n

“Right now, I’m not inclined to share my deeper thoughts about my career,” Muller said. “We lost a significant battle. This match was crucial for us.”<\/p>\n
