Current lexicon:Heart and soul
Thomas Müller used it to play football in Paris – at least in a figurative sense.

From Werner Bartens
They certainly shed blood, sweat and tears. The FC Bayern football professionals in the game against Paris Saint-Germain cannot be blamed for a lack of secretion of body fluids. Hopefully there was no heart and soul, at least not in the narrower sense. All of the blood in the circulatory system is regularly pumped through the body by the heart, but that small portion for the coronary arteries that branch off from the main artery and directly supply the heart muscle could count as heart blood. They are called coronary vessels because they surround the heart in a crown-like and wreath-like manner. In times of Corona (German: Krone) it should be remembered that medicine was already familiar with crown metaphors. The defending champion in the Champions League will not be able to put on the crown of the premier class again this year, even if he has contested the second leg “with a lot of heart and soul”, as Thomas Müller emphasized with body and soul. So with passion, will, absolute commitment and commitment. Alone, it wasn’t enough. Other cardiac-oriented football poets might have been inclined to say that the record champions’ kickers left their hearts on the pitch. In any case, the hearts of the disappointed fans are bleeding now.
