Bayern Munich Thrash Hoffenheim 4-0 as Thomas Müller Bids Farewell

Bayern Munich wrapped up their Bundesliga campaign in style with a commanding 4-0 victory over Hoffenheim at the ProZero Arena. Despite the heavy loss, Hoffenheim secured their Bundesliga status for next season, finishing 15th, thanks to Heidenheim’s 4-1 defeat to Werder Bremen.

Bayern’s Ruthless Display

Bayern took control early, with Michael Olise opening the scoring through a well-placed free-kick in the first half. Olise was instrumental yet again, delivering his 15th assist of the season for Joshua Kimmich, who doubled the lead shortly after halftime.

The Bavarians continued their dominance, with Serge Gnabry and Harry Kane adding two late goals inside the final 10 minutes to complete the rout. Despite their four-goal haul, Bayern only registered 1.54 xG (Expected Goals), highlighting the exceptional quality of their finishes. Hoffenheim, meanwhile, managed just 0.44 xG, struggling to break down Bayern's defense.

Hoffenheim Survive Despite Slump

Although Hoffenheim ended the season without a win in their last five matches, they narrowly avoided the relegation play-off, finishing 15th. Heidenheim's defeat to Werder Bremen ensured Hoffenheim's survival, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief after a challenging campaign.

End of an Era: Thomas Müller Says Goodbye

The match also marked the end of an era for Thomas Müller, who announced he would be leaving Bayern Munich after 25 incredible years at the club. Müller, a true Bayern legend, leaves with a remarkable record of 541 appearances, 175 goals, and 172 assists. He was visibly emotional as teammates and fans alike celebrated his illustrious career at the final whistle.

As Müller bids farewell to the club he has served since his youth, Bayern Munich fans are left with memories of a player whose loyalty, vision, and goal-scoring prowess defined an era.
