Bundesliga - Kane scored Olisse scored and passed the ball. Mueller ended the curtain call at home against Bayern 2-0. Borussia Mönchengladbach: Legendary farewell night, when the new king was crowned

At 0:30 am on May 11, the Allianz Stadium was shrouded in a red ocean. Bayern Munich defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-0 at home in the 33rd round of the Bundesliga, and crowned the 2024-2025 Bundesliga championship in advance, while holding a touching home farewell ceremony for meritorious veteran Thomas Mueller. Harry Kane broke the ball with a header, Olisse made a pass and shot, and Neuer made a lot of divine pounces. This victory is not only a celebration of the championship, but also the highest tribute to Mueller's 25-year Bayern career.

1. Mueller's farewell night: The legendary curtain call and the handover of the times 90 minutes before the game, the Allianz Stadium was full. When the melody of "South Star" sounded, 70,000 fans witnessed the farewell ceremony carefully prepared by Bayern for Mueller - on the Giant TIFO, the words "Thank you, our No. 25" shines brightly under the light, and the large screen scrolls the classic moments of Mueller from the youth training camp to the six-champion championship. The 10-year-old legend joined Bayern and wrote one of the most brilliant careers in football history with 749 games, 248 goals, 274 assists and 33 championship trophys. In the 83rd minute of the game, the moment Mueller was replaced, Allianz Stadium burst into deafening applause. He hugged Neuer and Kimmich and other teammates one by one, and Borussia Mönchengladbach players also spontaneously lined up to pay tribute. When Mueller waved to the stands with tears in his eyes, countless fans in the stands held up masks with his avatars, forming a shocking "Muller Ocean". After the game, he said emotionally: "My heart will always belong to Bayern, but now is the time for young people to take over."

2. Kane broke the deadlock: The championship redemption of the German striker

In the 31st minute of the game, Olise cut in the right and shot, and the ball was saved by Borussia Mönchengladbach goalkeeper Omlin. Kane was quick to grab the front and headed the ball to score! This goal is not only Kane's 36th league goal this season, but also allows him to break his career "Crownless Curse" - he won the runner-up seven times before, and now he has finally won the Bundesliga salad plate. After scoring the goal, Kane and Dell hugged each other and cried. The English striker handed the trophy to his teammates to celebrate together, showing his leadership style.

Kane's efficiency runs through the game: he shot 3 on the right side with 5 shots in the game, completing 2 key passes and 1 successful pass, with a confrontation success rate of up to 60%. More importantly, his existence completely changed Bayern's offensive dimension - the Borussia Mönchengladbach's defense line was forced to shrink, creating a broad space for wing players such as Olisse and Sane. As coach Kompany said: "His arrival makes our offense more layered, and this goal is a microcosm of his entire season."

III. Olisse's rise: the 19-year-old genius' passing and shooting myth

If Kane is the championship puzzle, then Olisse is the core of Bayern's future. The French star who joined last summer gave a textbook pass performance in this game: After assisting Kane to score, he received a straight pass from Sane to a cool push in the 90th minute to secure the victory, completing the gorgeous statistics of his 12th goal and 14 assists this season. It is worth noting that Olisse has directly participated in 25 goals this season, and has created major opportunities in the five major leagues (26 times), ranking first, even surpassing stars such as Salah and Yamal.

Olise is worth far beyond the data. He broke through the right inward (3 successful passes in the game) and precise straightener (2 key passes) completely tore the Borussia Mönchengladbach's defense. Kompani praised after the game: "He has a top vision and calm finishing ability, and will be Bayern's offensive engine in the next ten years." What is even more surprising is that the 19-year-old took the initiative to take on the frontcourt tandem mission when Mueller was absent, showing maturity beyond age.

4. Tactical Game: Kompany's three central defenders are innovative

Facing Borussia Mönchengladbach's 5-4-1 deep defense, Kompany uses the three central defender system: Stanisic and Dell and Guerrero form three defenders, Kimmich and Gretzka double midfielder, Olisse, Muller and Koeman form a flexible front-middle group. This adjustment has received a miracle effect - Bayern has a 64% possession rate in the game, creating width by pressing the full-back, Olisse and Koeman frequently switched positions to tear the defense line, which eventually turned into 23 shots and an expected goal of 2.53.

Bontaine was in a dilemma: coach Rusk insisted on a defensive counterattack, but the main center Kleindinste was closely guarded by De Ligt, and only 1 shot in the game. What's even more fatal is that Bayern forced Borussia Mönchengladbach through high-pressure (10 steals in the whole game), and Neuer launched many long passes and directly broke through the defense line. Despite Omling's six saves, it was difficult for Borussia Mönchengladbach's defense to maintain in the face of Bayern's tide of offense.

5. Behind the data: Championship background and Youth Storm

Bayern's victory comes from all-round suppression: 23 shots (8 shots) against 16 (6 shots), 64% possession rate against 36%, and 89 shots against 26 dangerous attacks. Neuer's three key saves (including a one-on-one save from Hoffman) secured a clean sheet, while Borussia Mönchengladbach's nine corners failed to translate into goals, highlighting the stability of Bayern's defense.

What is more worthy of attention is Bayern's rejuvenation process: the average age of the attack group composed of Olisse, Sane and Koeman is only 22 years old, and they form a perfect complement to Kane and Kimmich. This season, Bayern youth training players accounted for 38%, setting a new high in the past decade. This is the best footnote to Mueller's "The club's future is full of hope."

6. Conclusion: The legend never ends. The dynasty continues to move forward. When the final whistle sounds, the big screen of the Allianz Stadium is shown with the words "THOMAS MÜLLER——FOREVER BAYERN". Mueller's farewell is not the end, but the inheritance of Bayern's spirit. The moment Kane won the championship trophy, marking the beginning of a new era; Olisse's pass and shots made her mark, heralding the arrival of the youth storm. As Neuer said on social media: "You represent far more than football, your vitality and sense of humor will always be with Bayern."

This victory is a tribute to Mueller's 25 years of loyalty and a declaration of Bayern's attack on the Champions League champion. Next week, they will rush to London with the glory of the Bundesliga champions, and the red wave of Allianz Stadium will always remember this legendary curtain call and the crowning of the new king. The charm of football lies here - when the giant wheel of one era slowly leaves, the dawn of another era has illuminated the way forward.
