Mario Gomez officially bid farewell to football today, marking his last goal with Stutgart's fanele.

At the age of 34, the German attacker contributed to his team's promotion, which returned to Bundesliga even thanks to his goals. The German team finished the second season in Bundesliga 2, after Arminia Bielefeld.

As the last goal, though symbolic and useless [lost 1:3], it came true against Darmstad before leaving the field and being greeted by both teams' players.

It's always been my dream after such a great, unimaginable career to get back to Stutgart and end here”

I'm extremely grateful for the club and it's good to be able to say goodbye to this great success. It was my last mission. Today, there was a moment or two when I had tears in my eyes”, Gomez concluded.
