The legendary French midfielder Franck Ribery, who officially announced his retirement as a football player, commented on his decision.
“A few weeks ago I was in Munich, consulted with doctors. Thought maybe a solution could be found. But I will need an operation just to live normally.
Three months ago I felt great, and then my knee hurt for the first time. In the first match of the season against Roma, he played despite the pain. After that match, I could not walk for three days. The doctors said that everything is very serious. I could not believe that I was forced to stop playing, ”Ribery quotes La Gazzetta dello Sport.
