Breaking: Petr Cech Retires From International Football

Seems great players have planned a retirement circus this year as Petr Cech has now joined the likes of Lionel Messi to retire from international football.

We lived some amazing moments together - Wishing the team all the best for the future #CZE

We would recall that Czech Republic were eliminated from this summer's European Championships by Turkey after finishing bottom of Group D with only one point.

Cech admitted after the group stage, that he was already thinking of retiring from international football.

I will take a time to decide if I continue in national team (or retire).

It is now a reality. Although the stop-stopper bows out with 121 Czech Republic caps.

He is now set to step back to his club, Arsenal, as pre-season preparations have begun.
