Bayern preparing for Muller farewell in final home game

Newly crowned Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are preparing for an emotional final home game of the season as they bid farewell to club legend Thomas Muller.

Bayern secured their 34th German title last Sunday without kicking a ball as rivals Bayer Leverkusen were held to a 2-2 draw by Freiburg, leaving the leaders with an unassailable eight-point lead with two games left to play.

Although there is no sporting goal left to achieve, coach Vincent Kompany says Bayern will be ready to go when they host ninth-placed Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday, in Muller’s final home game before he leaves on a free transfer.

Muller first joined Bayern aged 10 and has helped them to 13 Bundesliga titles, six DFB-Pokal wins, eight DFL-Supercups and two Champions Leagues since his 2008 senior debut.

Kompany is determined to give Muller the send-off he deserves, saying: “This week has been like every other week. We’ve prepared because it’s an important match for us.

“We don’t have less pressure for the final two matches. We’re carrying on. We want to win this game, it’s Thomas Muller’s last match at the Allianz Arena, it’s a celebration for everyone.

“We want to experience a perfect Saturday if the preparation is good. It won’t be an easy task, the opponents are good.”
