Many things have changed, so have I, but my love for this jersey has never changed." he said.

"I feel now is the time to step aside. If I have made it to the age of 40 with the national team, it is because I have truly given it my all. Playing for my country has been the most emotional opportunity football has ever given me. Qualifying for the World Cup for the first time in 2014 remains one of the happiest moments of my life as a footballer. The emotions I felt on the night of the goal against Wales and then the goal against Italy will remain in my heart forever. Seeing the celebrations of my people in the streets of our cities is something that football has given me." "It was another incredible gift. There will be time to thank everyone who has been with me and supported me throughout this wonderful journey. For now, I hope you will be there that night against Sweden, because we have experienced each of these incredible moments together. This is exactly how I want to live my last night representing my country, with all of you by my side, carrying the jersey that I have loved since my childhood and will continue to love for the rest of my life."
