From Messi and Ronaldo’s polar opposite farewell situations to old heads staying back in the old days, we dive into the latest news from across the soccer-verse on the latest episode of the Urban Pitch Podcast!
Lionel Messi is officially (at least for now) retired from international football, while Cristiano Ronaldo’s histrionics got him a (self-approved) suspension from the Portugal national team.
While the two generational superstars couldn’t have more different conclusions to their careers, it’s clear that the world of soccer is finally entering a world with them in the rearview and not at the center.
On the latest episode of the Urban Pitch Podcast, we discuss why it’s so hard for players to move on, the increasing amount of retired players in all sports criticizing the current state of affairs in their respective sports, and what we can look forward to in a post-Messi/Ronaldo world.
You can watch the full episode on YouTube, or listen to the audio on streaming services including Apple and Spotify.
