In his final Bundesliga game of a glittering career, Kahn would dearly love the chance to score his first ever goal, but it seems likely that a penalty will be his only chance against Hertha Berlin.
The question remains: Will Oli Kahn be permitted by trainer Ottmar Hitzfeld to take a penalty in front of a sold-out Allianz Arena?
“The pressure is so high. I’m not sure I’d be able to kick the ball” Kahn told Bild. “But my team mates and the fans would push me forward, so have to take it.
“I’ve already decided which corner I would shoot in” he revealed.
The Bayern keeper has taken a penalty before for Bayern back in 2002 against Cottbus with the score at 6-0 to the Bavarians. Tomislav Piplica however guessed right, and Kahn has not been given another opportunity since then.
Trainer Hitzfeld on the other hand is not sure that he will be able to grant the keeper his wish.
“If it’s still a draw and we get a penalty, I’m not sure I’d have the courage to let him take the penalty.”
Despite it being his final game Kahn doesn’t want to be substituted before the end to get a standing ovation.
“I’d rather not be substituted; I’d rather play right through. I have problems with farewells. I don’t like them” he admitted.

There were tears before the game from Hitzfeld and a standing ovation for Oliver Kahn as he was substituted at the end, while Luca Toni secured the ‘Torschützenkanone’ with a hat trick in the game itself.
Bayern won 4-1 with Toni hitting three and Franck Ribéry grabbing the other. Despite conceding late on, Bayern did in fact set a new record for the fewest number of goals conceded in a season.
“At the moment I can smile again and I am very happy to have survived it all. The farewell was very moving and emotional and I had to shed a tear” Bayer trainer Ottmar Hitzfeld admitted.
“I have had seven and a half years at Bayern and we’ve had a great relationship sharing the same philosophy. Even though the pressure has been huge it has been a wonderful time” he added.
“My biggest disappointment was the 1999 Champions League final. That was an important moment in life, but you have to go through such things in life.”
Bayern legend and president Franz Beckenbauer joined in the words of praise. “You can’t celebrate winning the title better than that” he revealed.
“The weather also played its part. It didn’t rain and the mood inside the stadium was simply fantastic.”
Manager Uli Hoeneß added: “It was difficult to say farewell to Oli and Ottmar. It was a very emotional moment.”
