Aged 35, James Rodriguez has decided to end his international career.

It’s a page that is turning. After playing in the World Cup this summer, James Rodriguez announced this Tuesday that he was ending his history with the Colombian selection.

“The moment has arrived. Thank you for every match, every joy, every tear and every dream shared. Defending the colors of the Colombian selection was one of the greatest honors of my life. Thank you, Colombia. Forever “, wrote the Atlético National playmaker on his social networks.

In 127 caps (34 goals) with Colombia, James Rodriguez has not won a trophy, but still led the Cafeteros to the quarter-finals of the 2014 World Cup and the final of the 2024 Copa America.
