In the past, famous German footballer Mehmet Scholl spared no compliments for Munich's "Bayern" defender Philipp Lahm, who will end his career after this season.
"It's very sad news for me as a football fan.
He was an incredible footballer for about 70% of his career, and during the remaining time, he played at a world-class level.
In my opinion, he is alongside Franz Beckenbauer, Gerd Muller, and Lothar Matthaus, and belongs to the circle of the best German players of all time," Schollis said.
"I can understand his decision from a human perspective. The defender also did not make a mistake by retiring from his national team after the 2014 World Cup. He knows his body better than anyone else," the legend said.
This season, Ph. Lahm scored 1 goal in 14 Bundesliga matches."
