A knee injury has forced Ribery to hang up his boots, meaning his final game came against Roma in August.

At the end of Salernitana’s win over Spezia on Saturday Ribery came out on to the pitch wearing a Salernitana shirt.

The fans began to chant his name which caused the Frenchman to cry.

He put his hands to his face to try and compose himself but looked visibly upset.

Some supporters also held up photos of the 39-year-old as he walked around the pitch saying goodbye.

Ribery announced the end of his 22-year career earlier this week, saying: “The ball stops. The feelings inside me do not.

“Thanks to everyone for this great adventure. 🙏🏼.”;

The former France international played for nine clubs including Marseille, Fiorentina and Galatasaray.
