Former Italy goalkeeper and World Cup winner Gianluigi Buffon has retired from football, aged 45.
Buffon disclosed in a video post, displaying some of his best moments on his social media handle.
He wrote, “That’s all folks. You gave me everything. I gave you everything. We did it together.”
Buffon brings an end to a 28-year career that saw him lift the World Cup in 2006 along with 10 Serie A titles with Juventus and Ligue 1 with Paris St-Germain.
He had been an active footballer for 28 years, until he announced that he will end his career where it all started at his boyhood club, Parma.
Buffon will go down as one of, if not the greatest, goalkeepers in the history of the game.
He had ended his international career with 77 clean sheets in 176 caps and played a total of 1,151 professional games in all.
