The 17-year legend ends! Mueller won the 13th title of God and Genesis, Kane finally broke the curse - Tears and rebirth of the Bayern Dynasty

The end of an era, the beginning of an era

On May 5, 2025, when the lights of the Allianz Stadium lit up Bayern Munich's 33rd Bundesliga championship trophy, the world's attention was focused on two people: Thomas Muller and Harry Kane. The former tied Giggs with 13 Bundesliga championships, becoming the first person in history in the five major leagues, but announced his farewell on the night of the championship; the latter ended the 14-year "Crownless Curse" with 24 goals and 7 assists, tearing the label of fate to pieces. On this night, Bayern's salad plate was not only a symbol of glory, but also an epic about loyalty, redemption and the change of times.

From abandoned son in youth training to legend, he spent 25 years writing "one person, one city"

Since his debut in the Bundesliga in 2008, Mueller has engraved Bayern's red brand into his soul with 17 seasons of perseverance. 501 appearances, 150 goals, 211 assists - he is the first player in Bundesliga history to score 200 assists, and the only superstar to tie Giggs in a single league championship. Behind his 13-seater salad plate is the glory of the 11-game winning streak and the Jedi counterattack after being ended by Leverkusen last season.

Whether it is Guardiola's pass control system, Frick's quick counterattack, or Kompany's pragmatic tactics, Muller can always be the core of tactics with running without the ball and passing accurately. The record of 25 assists in a single season in 2019-20 has not been broken yet. Heinx's evaluation came to the forefront: "He gave every coach's tactical board a soul."

Although the 35-year-old Mueller still contributed 5 goals and 5 assists, Bayern's youthful strategy and salary pressure finally made this farewell inevitable. Fans will not forget that he once refused a sky-high invitation just to make a promise to "retire at Allianz". As Mattus said: "His departure has made football less colorful."

The 30-year-old "first-winning boy" finally bowed his head

In the summer of 2023, when Kane joined Bayern with a record-breaking net worth, public opinion mocking was overwhelming: "No crown physique will be contagious!" The granules in the first season seem to have verified the curse, but the performance of 24 goals and 7 assists in 29 games this season left all doubters speechless. In the key battle against Leipzig, Kane was suspended due to a yellow card and could only watch the game from the sidelines. When Bayern was beaten, he covered his face and sighed; when news of Leverkusen's draw came, he shed tears on the scene. This scene was captured by the camera and became the hottest topic on social media - "He finally no longer has to be a 'tragic hero'."

Kane's story has long surpassed sports. From being abandoned by Arsenal youth training at the age of 8, to Tottenham's loyalty and regret, to Bayern's breaking into a cocoon and becoming a butterfly, his experience has touched every ordinary person who struggles with his dream: "The runner-up is not a failure, but the clarion call of the next charge."

Bayern Dynasty: From lows to revival, Kompany's "silent revolution"

Last summer, when Bayern announced the signing of Kompany, who had a bleak record at Burnley, public opinion was in an uproar. However, the young coach proved himself with a report card of 23 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses. Despite being eliminated in the German Cup and the Champions League, he used pragmatic pass control and high-pressure to defend Bayern's bottom line.

Muller's departure marks the end of an era in Bayern, but the young Musiara is rising in the posture of "new Mueller". The 12-goal Bundesliga this season allows fans to see the hope of inheritance.

How does football become a mirror of the times?

In modern football where capital is rampant and loyalty is scarce, Mueller's 25-year Bayern career is like a fairy tale. His farewell is not only an individual curtain call, but also a symbol of the disappearance of traditional football values ​​- fans launched the topic #ThankYouMüller on social media, with a reading volume of over 1 billion.

From "No Crown Meta" to "First Crown Hot Search", Kane's counterattack has become the spiritual totem for ordinary people to fight fate. Psychological experts analyzed: "His success makes the public believe that persistence will be rewarded - even if you are late, you will not be absent."

Tears and applause behind the salad plate

When Mueller raised the 13th salad plate, his eyes looking at the stands were full of reluctance; when Kane kissed the salad plate, his smile was relieved. That night, Bayern's championship was not only a victory in sports, but also a shining of human nature - about loyalty, persistence and self-transcendence.

"Some people define greatness with championships, while others use greatness to redefine championships." The story of Mueller and Kane may be the most beautiful appearance of football.
