His retirement was announced in February and the World Cup winner has since had to constantly deny his manager's wishes for him to keep playing
Philipp Lahm will make his final Bayern Munich appearance on Saturday and revealed he has had to reject Carlo Ancelotti's pleas for him to reconsider.

In 15 years at Bayern, Lahm has won eight league titles, as well as the FIFA Club World Cup and the Champions League in 2013.
