On Saturday, Bayern Munich played their last match at the "Olympiastadion" stadium in Munich. They easily defeated Nurnberg 6-3 and bid farewell to one of the most famous stadiums in the world, where they played for over 30 years.
Two goals each from Roy Makaay, Sebastiano Deisler, Claudio Pizarro, and Michael Ballack allowed the most successful German club to leave the stadium victoriously. Two goals at the end of the match by the visiting striker Samuel Slovak made him the player who scored the last goal at the Olympic stadium.
After this match, Bayern's captain was awarded the German champions' trophy, which the Munich club won several rounds ago.
The "Olympiastadion" stadium was built for the 1972 Olympic Games. It was at this stadium that the West German national team triumphed in the 1974 World Cup final, and in 1988 the European Championship final took place there.
Bayern, who played at the Olympic stadium for the first time in June 1972, moved to the €280 million "Allianz Arena" stadium the following season.
The newly built "Allianz Arena" will host the first match of the 2006 World Cup. In addition, Bayern will share this stadium with another Munich team, TSV 1860.
Concerts and other events will now take place at the Olympic stadium, but it is believed that high-level football matches will no longer be held there.
