There is still a little hope that Gladbach fans can see their big darling Raffael (35) again today (3.30 p.m. / Sky and BILD.de live ticker) against Hertha BSC (on TV).
After a foot injury, the cult striker wants to be at least as a joker.
That he would even shoot his foals in the Champions League at the end would be almost too kitsch …
The fact is: After seven great years with 106 goal appearances in 200 competitive matches, Raphael’s foal time ends around 5.20 p.m. today because his contract is not being extended (BILD reported).
Many fans are storming the Internet against this decision by manager Max Eberl (46). But Raffael himself now takes all the stress out of the separation in BILD.
The noble technician: “Unfortunately, my time here is coming to an end – but it is the best solution for all parties.”
Eberl explained everything to him wonderfully, it is a good-bye. This is also how the manager sees it: “Raffa has done great things here and is extremely important for our club. But we also have to do justice to the players. It is a sporty decision. “
“Papi” would certainly not have gotten beyond the joker role. Raphael: “I will always come back to my Borussia, stay here at home.”
For his wife Jamiliy and his four kids Raffael junior, Raicky, Liz and Lays, he has just built a nice house in Hochneukirch. But football should never end!
Raffa: “It is not yet clear where I will go from here. I now speak calmly with the family and my advisor. But Borussia stays in my heart. ”
