Thomas Müller joins Bayern Munich for Christmas festivities
Bayern's players celebrated Christmas with their fans - and a club legend - following their final home game before the festive season.
Though they didn't get the result they quite hoped for, Harry Kane earned the hosts a point in their Matchday 14 draw with Mainz after winning and converting a penalty in the 87th minute.
Despite dropping points for the first time at home this season, the festive spirit was in full effect as fans and players soaked up the celebration at the Allianz Arena.

Bayern fans were treated to the return of Thomas Müller, too, who watched the game from the stands, while Alphonso Davies featured for the first time since March and Hiroki Ito started a Bundesliga game for the first time in nine months.
