Uruguayan attacker Edinson Cavani announced Thursday the end of his international career at the age of 37.
Known as “El Matador”, Cavani is Uruguay’s second-all-time leading scorer and third-most-capped player, with 58 goals in 136 appearances.
Cavani made his debut for Uruguay in 2008 and represented his country at four World Cups — the first of which in 2010, he reached the semi-finals and was voted the tournament’s best player. His crowning glory in sky blue, however, was a 2011 Copa America triumph in neighboring Argentina.
Formerly of Napoli, Paris Saint-Germain, and Manchester United, Cavani currently plays for Argentinian club Boca Juniors.
