The retiring Philipp Lahm admitted to experiencing "mixed feelings" after his final match for Bayern Munich on Saturday. Bayern won the Bundesliga this season, their fifth in a row.

Bayern beat Freiburg to end Lahm era

The 33-year-old played 87 minutes of the champions' 4-1 victory over Freiburg in what was his 517th competitive appearance for the club.

Bayern turned their last Bundesliga match of the campaign into something of a tribute show for Lahm, as well as Xabi Alonso and Tom Starke, who are also retiring.

Past greats of the club lined up on the pitch to welcome the players, who walked out with their children as matchday mascots.

Xabi Alonso and Lahm honoured

Alonso and Lahm were given special presentations before kick-off and both were substituted in the closing stages to give the Allianz Arena crowd one more chance to show their appreciation, after American pop star Anastacia had given a special half-time performance wearing a Bayern shirt with Lahm's number.
