Spanish World Cup-winning striker Fernando Torres has announced he is to retire from football.
Torres, 35, played at Atletico Madrid, Liverpool and Chelsea in his 18-year career and is currently at Sagan Tosu in Japan's J1 League.
In 110 games for Spain, he scored the winner in Euro 2008 and was on target in their Euro 2012 final win.
"After 18 exciting years, the time has come to put an end to my football career," he said on social media.
Torres said he will hold a news conference in Tokyo on Sunday to "explain all the details".
His career started with Atletico, before a £20m move to Liverpool in 2007, where he scored 81 goals in 142 games.
