Watch: Oliver Kahn in China
Bayern Munich and Karlsruhe legend Oliver Kahn has been in China visiting the Bundesliga's vast and ever-growing fanbase in Asia.
"Some call me Titan, some call me a lion."
Wherever Kahn goes he is regarded as a footballing legend. The three-time World Goalkeeper of the Year was given an incredible reception when arriving in Beijing, China, and was greeted as a legend wherever he went as you can see in our video above as we went with Kahn across China.
"It's always amazing to see how many fans of German football there are here," Kahn told bundesliga.com. "Also fans of myself. Like always, I had a nice time here meeting a lot of nice and friendly people. I had a lot of fun.
"I'm always impressed with how much they know about me and my career. One young woman even showed me a photo of the moment I helped support Jens Lehmann before a penalty shoot-out in the World Cup in Germany. She said she was impressed with how I acted in that situation, and her knowing that situation was impressive for me."
