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.
One may retire early, the other one still wan to play.
