Not only do the fans have to slowly come to terms with the lack of club football action for a few weeks, they also need to deal with the emotional roller coaster ride that the end of a season brings.

The strongest club in Germany – Bayern, this season scored less than the points scored, compared with the previous season.
Bayern Munich’s beer-soaked head coach Carlo Ancelotti conceded it will be tough to replace Philipp Lahm and Xabi Alonso after the pair played their final game before retiring.
Starke had his moment with the Bundesliga trophy, but not before Lahm was able to savour his final moment in Bayern red. A year later, they took their biggest rival’s, Borussia Dortmund, most promising player Mario Gotze and added their most risky player Robert Lewandowski a year later. All the major success that Germany accomplished couldn’t be imagined without a fantastic left back. I have weekends for the first time in 18 years.
“I’m very jealous of you having a World Cup winner’s medal, I’m very jealous of you having league titles in Germany and Spain, but you deserve it mate”. But seriously, when I think about it, that’s how Bayern tempted me a little bit.
“He has been a truly important person for the club”, said Rummenigge. I can not wait for the game – the last moments with the team, training staff and club employees.
Aside from being one of – if not the – finest goalkeeper of his generation, Buffon has consistently been one of the most respected and admired footballers around because the Italian legend just oozes class. He was playing for Bayern Munich and has won 8 Bundesliga Titles apart from 1 Champions League Title. Considering his national team, Alonso has two European champions in 2008 and 2012 and the World Cup in 2010 which took place in South Africa. No wander he has lifted the title 5 times as a captain.
Xabi Alonso called time on his illustrious career on Saturday.
“I want to be remembered as a pure football player”, Alonso told an interview with Marca.

Between them, Lahm, 33, and Alonso, 35, won every major trophy and were key figures in two of the 21st century’s most incredible matches.
