The Spanish and German icons will retire once this season ends, meaning Saturday’s clash with Freiburg will be their last professional game.
The day football fans have been dreading is finally here. Xabi Alonso and Philipp Lahm, two respected and decorated players in football, will be playing their final game on Saturday ahead of their retirement.
Given that the Spaniard and Germany have also quit international football, this will be the last time they are seen on a pitch playing professional football. This means the clash with Freiburg will be the Bayern Munich duo’s sad farewell party.
Here, we take a look at their combined career stats before analyzing the players individually.
The combined Xabi Alonso-Lahm stats
1351 club games
1578 games (including international caps)
87 goals
39 trophies
9 different league titles – 12 in total
8 domestic cups
3 Champions Leagues
2 World Cups
2 European Championships
Although these two icons played miles apart for most of their career, they have been team-mates for the past three seasons. They have won the Bundesliga every season since uniting at Bayern Munich.
Although Alonso boasts the more glorious international career, winning three consecutive major tournaments in 114 apps; Lahm was also instrumental in his national side’s World Cup success in 2014.
Xabi and Philipp are no Messi and Cristiano, but the retiring duo have been two of the most respected and influential players in the modern game. They will be missed.
