Boateng's Bayern career in 17 pictures

Farewell! The best photos of FC Bayern's double treble-winner and long-serving number 17, Jérôme Boateng.

01_Abschied-Boateng_110717_IMA — Boateng was presented as a Bayern player with the No17 jersey in July 2011.

02_Abschied-Boateng_130525_GET — The year after the infamous ‘Finale dahoam’ against Chelsea, Bayern brought the Champions League trophy back to Munich in 2013. Boateng was the instigator of the winning goal against Dortmund at Wembley.

03_Abschied-Boateng_130601_GET — Just a week later, Boateng & Co. made history with the first treble in the club’s history. “It was like we played ourselves into a frenzy,” the defender said looking back on 2012/13.

04_Abschied-Boateng_131123_GET — Boateng has won 62% of his challenges in the Bundesliga as a Bayern player, making him one of the leading centre-backs in German football.

05_Abschied-Boateng_140325_GET — Boateng won a number of honours with Bayern, crowning the earliest title win in Bundesliga history in March 2014 with an impromptu snap.

06_Abschied-Boateng_140713_GET — Boateng was one of seven Bayern players to win the 2014 FIFA World Cup with Germany in Brazil. He kept the defence solid as Germany beat Argentina 1-0 (a.e.t.) in the final in Rio de Janeiro.

07_Abschied-Boateng_140917_IMA — The defender scored 10 goals in 10 years with Bayern. Perhaps his most important was his injury-time strike to give FCB a 1-0 win against former club Manchester City in September 2014.

08_Abschied-Boateng_141219_IMA — Boateng was a winner and set a Bundesliga record on 19 December 2014 by going 56 straight appearances in the league without defeat after a 2-1 victory at Mainz.

09_Abschied-Boateng_160826_IMA — Boateng was named Footballer of the Year in Germany in 2016. “I was incredibly touched and proud to have done that as a defender,” he said.

10_Abschied-Boateng_160515_IMA — Being a Berliner in Munich didn’t seem to be a problem. “I quickly felt at home here,” Boateng said looking back. He was pretty comfortable in lederhosen by the 2016 title celebrations.

11_Abschied-Boateng_180512_IMA — And of course he never missed out on the obligatory beer shower, like here celebrating the title after the final home game of 2017/18.

12_Abschied-Boateng_180512_IMA — After a tough period and several injuries, Boateng returned to his best under new coach Hansi Flick. The pair had previously worked together for Germany’s 2014 World Cup win.

13_Abschied-Boateng_200823_GET — Boateng was first choice at the back under Flick in 2019/20, but he had to go off injured early in the Champions League final win against Paris Saint-Germain.

14_Abschied-Boateng_200823_IMA — But the joy of the second Champions League title of his career soon soothed the pain.

15_Abschied-Boateng_200924_IMA — Boateng lost a bet by winning the treble, meaning he had to play in the UEFA Super Cup win over Sevilla with a new hairstyle.

16_Abschied-Boateng_210508_DON — Boateng bows out with yet another Bundesliga title, winning it for an unprecedented ninth year in a row.

17_Abschied-Boateng_190720_GET — Danke, Jerome, for everything you’ve done for Bayern over the last 10 years!
