The France legend captained the Italian top-flight’s basement boys in their 1-1 draw at home to Bologna on Saturday.

Ribery joined Salernitana last summer after leaving Fiorentina after two seasons.

The 81-cap former international has played 16 times in Serie A but is yet to score for the struggling club.

Ribery is now locked in a relegation battle with the top-flight new-boys, who were in Serie D as recently as the 2011-12 season after being reformed.

It’s quite a change of scenery for the winger, who has won nine Bundesliga titles during his illustrious career, to go with one Champions League crown.
