This cover illustration was created for the official FC Bayern Magazine to mark a symbolic moment in the club’s history: the final season of legendary players Arjen Robben and Franck Ribéry. The artwork captures the duo standing side by side—focused, poised, and ready—looking determinedly into the distance. A visual metaphor for their last mission together.

From the earliest pencil sketches to the final print-ready layout, the process explored several compositions and color treatments to reflect the emotion of the moment: pride, determination, and the weight of legacy.
