Words of Gratitude from Italian Football Legend to P. Lahm, who Finished his Career

Munich's "Bayern" captain Philipp Lahm's life was football. Probably it would be difficult to find a better way to end an impressive career than celebrating another champion title, wrote lrytas.lt. It was not the match that decided the champion of Germany. However, nevertheless, the match with "Freiburg" was special. These matches will long be remembered by three "Bayern" players - P. Lahm, Xabi Alonso, and little-known backup Bavarian goalkeeper Tomas Starke. For all three football players, these were the last matches of their career. Ph. Lahm spent almost his entire career in the Bavarian team. With the "Bayern" club, he became the champion of Germany eight times, won the Champions League, and with the German national team in 2014 became a world champion. Not only fans thanked their beloved player on social networks. Italian football legend Gianluigi Buffon also wished luck to his colleague. "Dear Philipp, I heard that after winning all possible trophies, you decided to stop. I want to say that it was a huge honor to play alongside you. Every time you were very determined, but also fair. I wish you success in football, or in any other activity you choose," said the goalkeeper in the video. "It's a very emotional day, I've experienced a lot," Ph. Lahm told reporters as beer poured over him. But soon he continued, "It was an honor to share this experience with fans and teammates. They are my family and friends. Being on the field - that's my life. It was a great pleasure to enjoy this together with the team and staff." After the victorious match, the team celebrated in Munich's Marienplatz square with fans. And the emotional Lahm addressed his teammates: "Each of you is in my heart. Without you, I would not have achieved so much."
