WINNER JESSICA AND FINN MEET THOMAS MÜLLER IN PERSON
On November 19, 2024, Jessica and her son Finn experienced a true dream day at FC Bayern Munich. Jessica, a loyal Bayern member for over 30 years, traveled with her son all the way from Berlin to enjoy this special experience.
The day began with a shopping spree at the FC Bayern fan shop. Here, Jessica and Finn picked up the latest fan merchandise, including a new FC Bayern soccer ball. The excitement for the upcoming experience was already hard to contain at this point.
A major highlight of the day was the public training session at Säbener Straße, the FC Bayern Munich training grounds. Jessica and Finn were overwhelmed when they arrived, as they were able to experience the FC Bayern stars up close. Players like Harry Kane, Thomas Müller, and many others were only a few meters away. Finn was lucky enough to have his new Müller jersey signed by several players, including Alphonso Davies, Michael Olise, and Kingsley Coman. The absolute highlight was when Jessica and Finn were able to take photos with the legendary goalkeeper Manuel Neuer in a private area. You rarely get this close to football stars.
The next stop took them to a recording studio of FC Bayern TV. From there, they had a unique view of the Säbener Straße training grounds. While Finn excitedly prepared the items he wanted signed, Jessica painted two posters for Thomas Müller.
Then the big moment arrived: Thomas Müller entered the room. Finn was so excited that he could hardly get a word out. However, Müller, with his open and incredibly friendly nature, quickly made both Finn and Jessica feel at ease. Finn bravely asked if he could one day be a mascot. When Finn then handed him a box of chocolate as a thank-you gift, the ice was truly broken. Many photos were taken, and videos were also recorded for Jessica’s work and for Finn’s football team. The absolute highlight for Finn was when he got to kick a few balls with his idol. Müller even gave him valuable tips on defending and tackling.
After saying goodbye to Thomas Müller, Jessica and Finn received an exclusive tour of the Säbener Straße facilities. In the press room, Finn even had the chance to do a mock interview from the coach’s seat. They toured various office departments and got an in-depth look at the FC Bayern grounds.
For Jessica and Finn, this day marked the fulfillment of a long-awaited dream. As big Bayern fans, they not only had the opportunity to meet the legend Thomas Müller in person and ask him all their questions but also experience other club stars live.
This unforgettable experience was made possible thanks to their contribution to the Nicolaidis YoungWings Foundation, a charitable organization that offers targeted counseling and long-term support for young people dealing with grief.
We thank you, Jessica, for your generous contribution and the wonderful insight into this unforgettable experience!
May this day at Säbener Straße remain in your memory forever.
