Piszczek, who retired at the end of last season, played for the "World Team," which featured players such as Robert Lewandowski, David Alaba, and Mesut Özil.
The match ended in a 4-3 victory for the "BVB All-Stars."

"But I'm not going to make any decisions about my future today or tomorrow.
"I'm going to take some time to think about what I want to do next."
