After the final whistle of the Club World Cup, Thomas Muller waved to the Bayern Munich fans one last time with his 25-year tenure with the German club coming to an end.

The 35-year-old Muller bowed out with a 2-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the quarterfinals on Saturday, marking a bittersweet conclusion to a career filled with triumphs. Muller entered the match as a substitute in the 80th minute and seemed to have drawn a penalty in the final moments of stoppage time when PSG’s Nuno Mendes made a high challenge in the area.

However, video review showed that Mendes’ foot struck the ball, narrowly missing Muller’s chin, sealing PSG’s victory.

“I’m still fully in work mode now," Muller said. “It doesn’t feel much different from before the game when we tried, and I also tried, to just get one round further."

He wasn’t ready to reflect on his stellar career at Bayern, which began when he joined the club as a 10-year-old in the summer of 2000.

“In the end, maybe we deserved more," Muller said. “But in football when you have these tight matches, it’s sometimes a coin flip. And, yes, we lost it."

Muller made more appearances than any other player at Bayern, scoring over 200 goals and assisting more than 200 times. He led the club to a record 13 Bundesliga titles, finishing with one last championship this past season. However, Bayern announced in April that they would not extend his lucrative contract for another season.

“Of course, I am aware that this was my last game, and I will see what goes through my head in the coming days," Muller said.

He has not revealed his future plans, although reports suggest a possible move to U.S.-based Major League Soccer.

“At the moment, I’m not in the mood to share my deeper thoughts about my career," Muller said. “We lost a big fight, a very important game for us."
