Sergio Ramos announces his retirement from the Spain National Team

Sergio Ramos announced his retirement from the Spain National Team through his Twitter. The captain of the National Team said goodbye to La Roja, and was left with the desire to be able to represent his country, after the rudeness of Qatar 2022.

“Everyone knows what it means to me to wear the Spain shirt. You will never lose hope as long as we are still active,” He commented on having been ruled out by Luis Enrique for the World Cup in Qatar.

After the World Cup, Spain had a change of DT, and Luis De La Fuente entered. This new coach opened the doors for Ramos: “Nobody has the door closed, the best will come. It will depend on the states of form in all cases. I’ll talk to Ramos, like with all the heavyweights,” he commented in December 2022, when he was already announced as technical director of La Roja.

I will continue to cheer on my country from home with the emotion of the privileged person who has been able to proudly represent it 180 times. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you who always believed in me! ❤️?❤️ pic.twitter.com/KzVldPhiqo
