Early morning on July 9th, 33-year-old Spanish midfield maestro Thiago Alcântara announced his retirement from professional football on social media.
Thiago began his professional career at Barcelona’s La Masia academy and went on to play for three of the biggest clubs in the world: Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Liverpool.
