On this special day for Bayern Munich, Bixente Lizarazu sent a beautiful message to his former club on social networks.
After hanging up his boots in 2006, Bixente Lizarazu decided to retrain as a consultant. He notably joined the TF1 group in 2009, where he replaced Jean-Michel Larqué in commentary for the French team’s matches, and has been associated since 2016 with Grégoire Margotton.
Staying close to the football fields, “Liza” still closely follows her favorite club, Bayern Munich. He therefore did not miss the anniversary this Thursday, May 23, of the 23 years of the Bavarians’ victory in the final of the Champions League against FC Valence (1-1, 5-4 tab).
Bixente Lizarazu also pays tribute to Oliver Kahn
“Club consecration! A match until the end of the night… A date that we will never forget. Happy birthday “, wrote the 98 world champion on X (formerly Twitter) in response to Bayern’s post. It must be said that this is the only time that the former French player has won the Champions League in his career. A necessarily unforgettable memory.
Bixente Lizarazu then paid tribute to Oliver Kahn, who stopped the Valencians’ last shot on goal, at the same time offering the C1 to the Munich residents. “And the stopping of the Titan Olivier Kahn”, reacted the TF1 consultant, who had transformed his shot on goal, in response to the video of the decisive save by the former German goalkeeper. As a reminder, Lizarazu played eight seasons in Bavarian colors between 1997 and 2004, then between 2005 and 2006. In the meantime, he had freelanced for Marseille.
