Emotional moment Bayern star David Alaba breaks down in tears as team-mates say goodbye before his final game

TEARS streamed down David Alaba’s face when team-mates handed the legend a goodbye video ahead of his final Bayern Munich game.

The Austria defender nodded his head wistfully, wiped his eyes and put his head into his hands as 13 glittering years with the German giants come to an end before a probable move to Real Madrid.

Real have reportedly beaten clubs like Chelsea, Manchester City and PSG to sign the 28-year-old.

But before his contract runs out Alaba faces a Bundesliga swansong when champs Bayern host Augsburg on Saturday.

And although a five-year Real deal is thought to await him, he looked overcome with emotion as he reflected on his stint in Germany. 

Bayern handed him a documentary, with reflections and greetings from fans and club-mates.

And on seeing the pictures Alaba sobbed, perhaps in recognition of the enormity of the bonds he has built, the achievements he has earned and the decision he has made to leave.

Bayern posted Alaba’s tearful response on Instagram – drawing more praise and gratitude from his admirers.
