The match of the 34th round against Freiburg was the last in the career of Xabi Alonso.
At the 81st minute of the game with Freiburg, Xabi Alonso left the field as a professional player for the last time. The Spaniard was replaced by Frank Ribery under deafening ovations of the stands of the Allianz Arena.
Hardly restraining tears, the football player followed on the bench.
The one and only @XabiAlonso leaves the pitch for the last time.
