Philipp Lahm

[Yannik]

My favourite fullback since Cafu. An absolute all time great on that position and a respected leader and captain. Really sad to see him step down from football, he still has it and could possibly play another 1-2 seasons.

Was really underrated early,glad he got a deserved credit for what he is

FC Bayern München statement on Philipp Lahm

"FC Bayern München is surprised by the approach of Philipp Lahm and his adviser. Uli Hoeneß and I have held open, intensive and constructive talks with Philipp in recent months about a possible position as sporting director of our club. At the end of last week, he informed us that he is currently not available for such a position and that he would like an early termination of his player contract, which runs until June 2018, at the end of the current season.

Until yesterday we assumed that there would be a joint announcement on this decision by Philipp Lahm and FC Bayern München.

Philipp Lahm has been an important player for FC Bayern München for over a decade. We are convinced that our captain will now concentrate fully with the team on the tough upcoming tasks in the Bundesliga, Champions League and DFB Cup. We would like to make clear that the door will always remain open for Philipp at FC Bayern München.”

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge
FC Bayern München Chairman

Damn this is somewhat early retirement. Too bad losing a classy guy like Lahm!

Great player. True workhorse and great winner! One of my favourites.

An all time great player without a shadow of doubt. The way he casually switch from being a world class LB to a world class RB and then to a world class DM is nothing short of amazing.

 

[Hardy]

The best of his generation, love him

Great player, amazing career.

Let's see if we can talk him out of retirement and bring him to Barça.

Oh wow. Some praise, that. Seems like him and Lahm really clicked at Bayern. Wonderful words.

Whatever happened to the rumor that all is not well between them ever since Lahm leaked dressing room incidents to Bild? Which in turn actually happened coz they had Lahm's secret of him having relationship with men, ala Cristina?

It was a silly rumor though but the one that had a hint of creative thinking
