Paris--African football legends Didier Drogba and Andre Ayew made emotional farewells at the weekend from clubs they have served with distinction as most European leagues ended.

Veteran Ivory Coast striker Drogba was carried off the Stamford Bridge pitch by team-mates after retiring injured during a 3-1 win for English champions Chelsea over Sunderland.

And Ayew, a son of Ghana icon Abedi Pele, said goodbye to French outfit Marseille as a near-10-year spell at the club ended with a 3-0 home triumph over Bastia.
