Bayern Munich captain Oliver Kahn says he may retire from
football, should the club win this season's UEFA Champions
League.
The 37-year-old, whose contract expires in 2008, is in line to hang
up his gloves at the end of next season.
However, the former Germany number one may consider ending his
playing career in May, should the Bavarians triumph again in
Europe.
"If we were to win the Champions League this season, it's quite
possible I'll retire on the spot," Kahn told German
television.
"I want to try to quit at the top, I want to have the feeling of
being at the peak.
"I definitely don't want to hang on to the point where people are
saying: 'Send that old guy home'."
Bayern face a difficult task in trying to reach next May's final in
Athens, with Spanish giants Real Madrid their opponents in the
round of 16 in the New Year.
