Borussia Mönchengladbach loses one of its flags: Patrick Herrmann, offensive winger born in 1991, has decided to retire at the end of the season. Here is the player’s letter, published on social media: “16 years, 418 games, 20,726 minutes, 56 goals, half of my life at Borussia Mönchengladbach.
With these words I inform you that at the end of the season I will leave my career as a footballer. Saying goodbye to you won’t be easy for me, but the current season has been a battle for me. I decided to give up after mature consideration. I thank each of you for your support and loyalty. You have always inspired and motivated me. I hope you will always remember me as your number 7 with all the goosebumps moments, from the relegation to the Champions League.
The love for our Borussia will always remain part of my life.”
