Bayern Munich sealed its Bundesliga title celebrations with a 2-0 home win over Borussia Monchengladbach in the 33rd round match on an emotional night that marked Muller's final game in red on Saturday.

All eyes were on Muller as he led the team out for his 750th and final appearance at the Allianz Arena. The veteran, who has won 13 Bundesliga titles and two Champions Leagues with the club, received a roaring ovation and was honoured with a fan choreography.

“Football and the people have inspired me in 750 games for Bayern. What's really great is that we were presented with the trophy in our own stadium. There are 75,000 hearts beating for me here, so I'm a bit scared. I can't take that for granted. I can't quite come to terms with it all at the moment," Muller said after the match.

Captain Manuel Neuer thanked Muller for his contributions to the club over the years.

“The important thing was that we got the trophy here in our stadium. It was perfect, even if I'd have liked Thomas to score another goal. But either way, I'm grateful to Thomas for my career. We've been on the pitch together so often. The city of Munich loves him. The goal was to be champions, and we achieved that. So, it's a good season," he said.

England striker Harry Kane, who lifted his first major silverware of the career, lauded the team and coach Vincent Kompany for the stellar season.

“It's an incredible feeling after so much hard work. I'm really enjoying it and hope it's just the start. We've got a great team and a great coach.

"Obviously I'll miss Thomas. He's a legend," Kane said.

What a legend! 750 games for one club is insane dedication. We need such loyalty in Indian football too. Bayern fans are lucky to witness this era. Hope our ISL clubs can develop players who stay long-term like Müller did. 🇮🇳⚽

Emotional moment for football fans worldwide! Müller's humility despite his achievements is what makes him special. In India, we celebrate cricket retirements so much - wish we gave football legends this kind of sendoff too!

Respect from Mumbai! 13 Bundesliga titles is mind-blowing. Meanwhile our national team struggles to qualify for World Cup 😅 But seeing legends like Müller gives hope that with proper system, India can produce world-class players too.

Beautiful to see how the fans honored him. German football culture is something else! In India, we need to create this connection between clubs and supporters. Müller's speech shows why football is called the beautiful game ❤️

While I admire Müller's career, this shows the gap between European and Indian football. Our best players go abroad early instead of building legacy at home clubs. Need better infrastructure and youth development to change this. Still, salute to a true great!
