Sergio Ramos has retired from international football..
The 36-year-old announced his retirement on Thursday after learning that Luis de la Fuente, the new Spain coach, does not have any plans for him.
Ramos said Regardless of his performance with Paris Saint-Germain, De la Fuente called him and informed him that he would not be chosen.
The defender played 180 times for Spain, more than any other player, and scored 23 goals.
Ramos won the 2010 World Cup as well as back-to-back European Championships in 2008 and 2012.
In a social media posted, “With a heavy heart, it is the end of a road which I hoped would end with a better taste or on a part with which we achieve with La Roja.
“I honestly believe this journey deserved to end at my choosing or because my performances were not at a level worthy of the national team — not due to a question of age or other reasons,”
