Blaise Matuidi Decides to Hang up His Boots

News 18  

Blaise Matuidi, a World Cup winner with France in 2018, said on Friday he is retiring, a year after he last played. The 35-year-old, who started the World Cup final win over Croatia in Russia four years ago, had been omitted from Inter Miami’s squad for this season. “I had the chance to play for the biggest European clubs, wear the France shirt, give my family a buzz, live my passion and they are images that will stay with me,” he added. “I think I’ve come to the end of what I’m able to bring to the table.” Matuidi was present last Sunday as France lost in the final of this year’s World Cup to Argentina in Qatar.
