France : Samuel Umtiti met un terme à sa carrière
Following Steve Mandanda, another French international has decided to end his football career: Samuel Umtiti.
The Yaoundé (Cameroon) native, world champion with the French team in 2018, is retiring at just 31 years old. The former FC Barcelona player has often been hampered by recurring injuries throughout his career.
"After an intense career with its ups and downs, the time has come to say goodbye," the Frenchman announced on Instagram on Monday. "I gave it my all with passion and I have no regrets. I would like to thank all the clubs, presidents, coaches, and players I have been able to work with."
Trained at Olympique Lyonnais, then spent time at FC Barcelona, Samuel Umtiti seemed to have overcome the knee problems that had hampered a large part of his career after winning the World Cup with Les Bleus in 2018. During the 2018 World Cup, he distinguished himself by scoring the only goal in the semi-final against Belgium, which sent France to the final.

Il avait tout pour etre un top class defenseur , helas les blessures a repetition ont gache sa carriere , respect a monsieur Samuel umtiti champion du monde avec la france .
Retraite a 31 ans - il a sans doute diminue son age de beaucoup avant de venir en France...
Umtiti, c'est la classe. Il avait un marquage propre et respectueux de ses adversaires. Il était poli et discret et même timide. Dommage pour ses blessures, il jouait avec élégance.
On oubliera jamais son but à la Coupe du Monde en 2018 contre la Belgique.
Les jeunes joueurs devraient s'inspirer de lui !
Bonne retraite, tu l'as largement mérité !
oh! bonne retraite... il a remporté la coupe du monde U17 en 2013 et le mondial 2018 en éliminant la Belgique avec un coup de tête rageux. il est venu au Barça au moment de sa reconstruction si non il allait gagner la champions League. un bon défenseur...
