Former Arsenal left Back, Nacho Montreal has announced his retirement from professional football. He announced his retirement on his Instagram handle quoting.
“36 years playing football. 16 as a professional. Squeezing my body and taking it to limits that I would never have imagined.
My knee sends me a message… loud and clear; I cannot continue! Do I get mad? NO! I listen to it and accept the situation and thank it for everything.
A stage is over. Another starts. I’m happy and feeling good. One more time… I FEEL GOOD!!! And that gives me peace of mind.
Life a gift and I like to be grateful. Thank you @caosasuna @rfef @malagacf @arsenal @realsociedad for letting me cross your paths. What a good years….”.
