Fernando Torres has officially retired from Football, bringing an end to his glittering 19 year career in fitting fashion, after going head to head with international Compatriot Andreas Iniesta on last Game.
The former Atletico Madrid and Liverpool Striker swapped for japanese side Segan Tosu last July, but earlier in the summer, he announced that he would retire after the match with Vissel Kobe on 23 August.
It ensured he could go head to head once more with Iniesta, with whom he often shared the field as a rival at Club level and a team mate for Spain, after the match ended 6 - 1 to Vissel Kobe with Iniesta finding the net - Torres professional Career has officially been brought to its end.
Iniesta wrote a touching tribute to his Colleague, published by El mundo before the match, noting the poetic nature of marking the end of his Career side by side, halfway across the world from were it began.
"How weird , Don't tell me no, Fernando," the letter reads. "It's very Strange, i would say beautiful Strange. Here we are both, about to play your last game as a professional.
The match was understandably dominated by the Torres narrative, as his Career that Spanned five Clubs and over 700 goals reached it conclusion, but there was no shortage of alternative Spanish and English interest in the Showdown.
