And of those most affected in Rafinha's farewell conference was Ribery, who could not hold back his tears as his friend paid tribute to the club he had spent his last eight years fighting for.
"The eight years have been wonderful, I have had some great moments here.
"The treble in 2013 was special. All things come to an end eventually. We are together everyday and we know each other so well — we are a family. The friendship we all have is the greatest thing," Rafinha said.
And as Rafinha spoke his parting words Ribery was in tears as it finally dawned on him that he would also be playing his last two games for Bayern Munich.
