When Frank Lampard intentionally played down Cristiano Ronaldo's challenge on him to stop the Portuguese star from being shown a second yellow card.
A reminder of a different era. They don't make footballers like that anymore. 👏⚽️

Dear football,
Today, I want to share with you that this season will be my last as a professional footballer. After so many years living my dream, I feel it’s time to start a new chapter in my life.
Being honest, even though I have been preparing myself for this moment, I found it hard to write this letter. After 20 seasons , many people have played an important role in my career.
When I first kicked a ball as a child in Pamplona with my schoolmates, I never imagined the amazing journey ahead. I’m grateful for every moment: the wins, the tough losses, the challenges, and most of all, the people I’ve met and the friendships I’ve made along the way.
To my teammates, coaches, and every staff member at all the clubs I’ve been lucky to be part of, thank you for helping me grow as a person and a player every day. Wearing the shirts of CA Osasuna, Olympique Marseille, Chelsea FC, Atlético de Madrid, Sevilla FC, and representing my country at the biggest stages has been a true privilege. Every moment has meant so much to me…
Another season of learning and development completed, Every season teaches you something,but it’s about Taking the lessons and building for what’s next.
Looking forward to what next season holds⚽️
From Makélélé to Essien. Kanté to Caicedo.
For over two decades, the most successful Chelsea teams have been built on the same foundation… a dominant presence anchoring the midfield.
Chelsea have been blessed with a succession of ever-present midfield anchors.
