😯 He's only 27! World Cup star to quit national side if they win title | OneFootball

At 27, a footballer is usually in the prime of his career. For a World Cup star, apparently the perfect moment to retire.

“If I win the World Cup, I’ll retire from the national team,” Marc Cucurella told Spanish pay-TV channel Movistar+. His reasoning? It doesn’t get any better than becoming a world champion and a European champion.

The full-back won the European Championship with La Furia Roja in Germany in 2024. On Sunday, he can now also secure the World Cup trophy in the final against Argentina. And then retire from the national team at just 27? We’re curious.
