Bayern Munich midfielder Xabi Alonso announced he would retire at the end of the season, putting an end to a long and trophy-laden career that includes every major title for club and country.
“It was no easy decision,” the 35-year-old, who also played at Liverpool and Real Madrid, told Bayern Munich television.
“But it was the right moment. I always wanted to end my career earlier rather than too late. I still feel good so I think this is the right time.”
