Bayern Munich has returned the Bundesliga trophy—colloquially known as the “salad bowl”— to its rightful place: the club’s trophy cabinet. While the championship drama was effectively settled last week when Bayer Leverkusen stumbled in Freiburg, today’s match against Borussia Monchengladbach shifted focus from the scoreline to two iconic figures: Harry Kane and Thomas Muller.Muller, a Bayern legend, experienced a deeply emotional send-off ahead of kickoff, with the entire Allianz Arena paying tribute to his legacy. The 34-year-old marked his 750th appearance for the club, a milestone that cements his place in football history. Less than two hours later, the spotlight turned to Kane, who, after 15 years as a professional, finally lifted the first trophy of his senior career.HARRY KANE LIFTS HIS FIRST-EVER MAJOR TROPHY 🙌 pic.twitter.com/Mopvd6y4Xe— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) May 10, 2025 In a classy gesture, Bayern’s captains stepped aside to allow Kane the honor of hoisting the Bundesliga trophy first — a moment filled with symbolism and long-overdue celebration.The match itself was of secondary importance, but Bayern nonetheless delivered a solid performance, defeating their former archrivals 2–0. Kane scored yet again, his 37th goal of the season, pouncing on Michael Olise’s sharp cross. It was a fitting end to a historic day for the Englishman.Olise was once again a standout performer, playing with the energy of someone whose title hopes hinged on the result. He was rewarded in the 90th minute, capping off the win with a stylish goal of his own. Remarkably, this was his third consecutive match with both a goal and an assist.🇩🇪 Thomas Muller’s stats for Bayern Munich:CLUB LEGEND! 🌟 pic.twitter.com/eXD8vx6ebL— Sholy Nation Sports (@Sholynationsp) May 10, 2025 ❤️🤩 Bayern Munich’s incredible tribute to Thomas Muller in his last ever home game pic.twitter.com/pH1JW1UL2V— The Sun Football ⚽ (@TheSunFootball) May 10, 2025 Under Vincent Kompany, many of Bayern’s signings have experienced ups and downs, but not Olise. The Frenchman has proven time and again to be the Bavarians’ most impactful addition in recent years. His stats in his debut season with the club speak volumes: 16 goals and 20 assists in one of the most demanding environments in European football.BUNDESLIGA – MATCHDAY 33FridayWolfsburg – Hoffenheim 2-2 (1-1)/Ostigard 1 (og), Wind 81 – Kaderabek 34, Bulter 84/Saturday Bochum – Mainz 1-4 (0-1)/Holtmann 84 – Amiri 45+3, Mwene 53, Burkardt 73, Nebel 90+3/Holstein Kiel – Freiburg 1-2 (1-1)/Rosenboom – Manzanbi 45+2, Holer 58/Union Berlin – Heidenheim 0-3 (0-1)/Beck 12,76, Schoppner 53/Werder – RB Leipzig 0-0Bayern Munich – M’gladbach 2-0 (1-0)/Kane 31, Olise 90/Sunday 16.30: (2.65) Leverkusen (3.85) Dortmund (2.55)18.30: (1.55) Eintr.Frankfurt (4.10) St.Pauli (6.25)20.30: (1.58) Stuttgart (4.10) Augsburg (5.70)***odds are subject to change***
