Arjen Robben and Franck Ribéry played football for ten and twelve years in the service of FC Bayern, were celebrated like legends when they left, and hit numbers like "Arjen Robben leaves the football stage. Bayern stars bow". Someone who helped shape this era, who was on the pitch with Robben and Ribery and who won seven championship titles in seven years is Thiago Alcántara.
There will be no more championship titles with Bayern. Again Kicker reports, the 29-year-old moves on, those responsible for the German series champions are in contact with Liverpool. The only thing that can be added is the triple. His last game for Munich will be the Champions League final on Sunday against Paris St. Germain – there could be no better end for a professional footballer. Emotional headlines similar to those of the Dutch or French departures are difficult to imagine.
"Thiago is an exceptional talent, Thiago is simply an excellent football player", Hansi Flick raved about his midfielder at a press conference this summer. He is also celebrated as a great footballer within the team. The fact that he is not seen as one of the best in public is due to bad passes, his laissez-faire actions, with which he repeatedly polarizes.
In the Champions League semi-final against Lyon on Wednesday evening, he once again showed why the Spaniard's assessment is so different. In the fourth minute of the game, the pass from Thiago comes to Goretzka. The problem: the pass does not end up at Goretzka but at Maxence Caqueret in Lyon. Between the two central defenders, the Depay feeds the ball and it comes to one-on-one between him and Manuel Neuer and the dangerous chance to take the lead. The fact that the ball goes unspeakably just past the goal is pure luck for the Munich team and, above all, saves Thiago the evening.
A scenario that Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi know only too well: if they do not perform at their best, if they even make a mistake, they will be taken apart by the public. This is what happens to a Bayern professional like Thiago, who played 234 games for the record champions. He scored 31 goals, prepared 37 and helped the Munich team to 16 titles, including seven championships and four DFB cups.
But what he did not manage: to win a title that is ONLY attached to him. Not like Arjen Robben – in the 2013 Champions League final – or like Robert Lewandowski (in almost every Bundesliga season) or like Franck Ribéry, Manuel Neuer and Thomas Müller, who were always the difference players.
According to Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the midfielder "wants to do something new at the end of his career". The talks with Liverpool FC come at a good time before the three up front make the leap into the Premier League. With FC Barcelona he was 2011 Champions League winner and four times Spanish champion. Should now also come a successful time in the English league
In doing so, he follows in the footsteps of his colleagues, who are celebrated like heroes.
