Herrmann was on the bench (as was Tony Jantschke, who also retired) in Gladbach’s duel with Eintracht Frankfurt on the 33rd Bundesliga matchday, which ended 1-1 after goals from Robin Hack (9th) and Eric Ebimbe (35th). received a warm reception from the fans.

Patrick Herrmann was visibly moved by Gladbach’s fans
The winger, who scored 47 goals in 349 Bundesliga games for the Foals, has been struggling with his emotions for some time. “There’s a lot of sadness,” he reported in a SPORT1 interview a week ago: There are only three weeks left, and I chatted about it again with Florian Neuhaus. In such a long career – I’ve been here for 16 years – three weeks is almost nothing. I think about that every day right now, I have to admit. When you’re in the middle of your career, it doesn’t even occur to you that one day it will just be over. Now it’s ubiquitous.”

The two-time national player Herrmann moved from his hometown of Saarbrücken to Gladbach as a teenager in 2008 and became a constant there for years – just like defensive player Jantschke, who has been active at the club since 2006.
Both Jantschke (85th) and Herrmann (88th) came into the game, but nothing changed in the final score of 1:1.
Thanks to the draw, the foals are certainly saved. Meanwhile, Eintracht secured 6th place, which even makes the Hessians dream of the Champions League.
