MADRID: Real Madrid captain Nacho Fernández is ending his career with the club less than a month after lifting the Champions League trophy in London.
Madrid announced Nacho’s decision on Tuesday, about three weeks after the club defeated Borussia Dortmund at Wembley for the club’s record-extending 14th European Cup triumph.
It was the sixth time Nacho won the Champions League with Madrid, and his first as captain.
Nacho has won 26 trophies with Madrid, a record he shares with Luka Modric.
“Real Madrid would like to thank and express our appreciation to Nacho, one of the club’s biggest legends,” the club said.
