Former German player: I turned down Real for Milan, it was the biggest mistake

Jens Lehmann won trophies with Schalke 04, Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal, while also wearing the shirts of Milan and Stuttgart during his career. The famous former German goalkeeper, also famous for his madness and record punishments with red cards, was transferred to Milan in the summer of 1998.

The Italian adventure did not go as expected, Abbiati soon won the starting position and in January 1999 Lehmann returned to the Bundesliga by signing with Dortmund. The 53-year-old has revealed an interesting detail about the summer when he signed with Milan, a moment he regrets.

"Accepting the transfer to Milan was a big mistake. I remember that summer a manager of Real Madrid called me to find out if I was willing to play at the Santiago Bernabeu, but I preferred Milan, as Serie A was considered the most attractive championship and was more competitive than La Liga.

The transfer to the red and black turned out to be a mistake, I should have signed with Real", recalls Jens Lehmann, author of 61 matches with the "Pancerat" of Germany. He is the goalkeeper with the most red cards in the Bundesliga, while he kept all the matches of the 2003-2004 season with Arsenal who won the Premier League without conceding a single defeat.
