鈥淟et us play!鈥 he shouted as he brought the picture and a bouquet of flowers to the sideline.
Bayern, which last weekend, was to play Borussia M枚nchengladbach before the team was to be presented with the trophy.
M眉ller is leaving at the end of the season after winning a record 13 league titles among others with the club.
Bayern that this season would be M眉ller’s last with the club. He was keen to extend his contract despite limited playing time but Bayern management felt it was more prudent to save his considerable wage packet than offer him a new one.
M眉ller joined Bayern as a 10-year-old from TSV P盲hl, a small Bavarian club based to the southwest of Munich, in the summer of 2000.
He made his Bayern debut under J眉rgen Klinsmann in 2008 and his breakthrough under Louis van Gaal the following season. He went on to make more appearances than any other player at Bayern, over 700, with more than 200 goals scored and more than 200 set up for other players.
