On Saturday after the winter break, in the German "Bundesliga" championship, in the XVIII round match, Munich's "Bayern" footballers painfully let the victory slip out of their hands, and Franck Ribery may have suffered a serious injury.
Sitting in fifth place in the standings, the "Bavarians" took the lead in their away match against "Wolfsburg" for most of the match thanks to a bizarre goal by Thomas Muller, but in the 86th minute Sascha Riether leveled the score after a rough mistake by the away team.
Furthermore, in the 18th minute, the knee injury sustained could no longer allow one of the leaders of Louis van Gaal's team - the defender Franck Ribery - to continue playing.
The Frenchman was replaced on the field by Dutchman Arjen Robben, who appeared on the green grass for the first time in official matches since the 2010 World Cup final.
In other matches, "Hamburger" defeated "Schalke" with a minimal score of 1-0 in an away game, while "Stuttgart" achieved the same result, but in front of their own fans, by defeating "Mainz", who are currently in second place in the championship.
It is worth mentioning that during the six matches of this day, four penalty kicks from the penalty spot were missed.
