Luis Figo Farewell



It was Luis Figo's last match this Sunday.
At the age of 36, Luis decided to retire from Football. Winning the fourth scudetto with Internazionale ends a beautiful career.

Figo started playing football with the modest Uniao FC "Os Pastilhas" before signed with Sporting. From then till today achieved many trophies with Sporting, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Internazionale and Portugal National team.

I had the pleasure to meet and play alongside Figo, at Figo AllStars games in the Algarve (2005) and in Bucharest (2008).



It was a great honor to be his guest.
It was one of the best moments in my career, to have the chance to be on the same pitch and team as Figo.



I want to wish Luis and his Family all the best in this new chapter of his life.
