Deniz Aytekin stops his work as a referee. He is 47 years old. His last game is Bayern Munich against Cologne.
Deniz Aytekin cries before the game on camera. He says: This is very hard. He stops his work in the league. The reason is his old age.
Other referees stop their work too. These are Patrick Ittrich and Tobias Welz. Frank Willenborg also stops his work. Patrick Ittrich cries at his last game too.
A thing happens in the game of Bayern. Manuel Neuer leaves the field in minute 59. He points to his left leg. He goes with a doctor to the room.
Maybe his leg hurts. This is a problem for Bayern. Next week is the final game against Stuttgart. The world championship starts soon too.
