Footballer Blaise Matuidi, 2018 world champion with the France team, announced the end of his professional career on Friday in a video posted on Youtube.
Football, I loved you so much.
Football, you gave me so much, but the time has come to say stop.
I accomplished my dreams as a child, my dreams as a man.
It is with a tight throat but with pride that I turn this page today.
THANK YOU ❤️

“I have decided to put an end to my career as a professional footballer (…) It's time to draw the curtain”, explained the former midfielder, 35 years old.
