A legend bows out! Pepe Reina announces retirement as 42-year-old ex-Liverpool & Spain goalkeeper prepares for 'last dance' with Como in Serie A title decider against Inter

<p>The 42-year-old will play the final game of his professional career on Friday when Como host Inter - a game that will have a decisive role in the Serie A title race. It will see him bring an end to a long spell in the game that saw him turn out for the likes of Barcelona, Villarreal, Bayern Munich, Napoli, AC Milan, Aston Villa and Lazio.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Reina will not be away from football for long, it seems, as <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/villarreal/20250520/1002468011/pepe-reina-vuelve-villarreal.html" target="_blank"><em>Mundo Deportivo</em></a> reports that he has already agreed to join Villarreal as a youth coach. The World Cup, European Championship and Champions League winner has not announced his next move yet as he shared an emotional message announcing his retirement.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">It has been much longer than I ever dreamed, yet it feels so short that I'd live it all over again.<br><br>With only three days left until the 'last dance', so many emotions, people, and memories come to my mind, and all I can do is sum them up in one huge THANK YOU.<br><br>My heartfelt… <a href="https://t.co/LX4wqRqnbT">pic.twitter.com/LX4wqRqnbT</a></p>— Pepe Reina (@PReina25) <a href="https://twitter.com/PReina25/status/1924827269484175872?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 20, 2025</a></blockquote>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>"It has been much longer than I ever dreamed, yet it feels so short that I'd live it all over again," he wrote in a social media post.
</p><p>"With only three days left until the 'last dance', so many emotions, people, and memories come to my mind, and all I can do is sum them up in one huge THANK YOU.
</p><p>"My heartfelt gratitude goes out to everyone who crossed my path, the greatest treasure of this profession. I carry a piece of each of you with me, and I won't forget that you've all helped me experience this genuine privilege of a career as a footballer.
</p><p>"I'm proud and at peace with every moment I've experienced, the tough ones because they taught me, and the good ones because they've made me extraordinarily happy.
</p><p>"I thank God for blessing me with a family who is responsible for every good thing that's happened to me; even a lifetime wouldn't be enough to repay them.
</p><p>"See you soon. New projects are coming, and football runs through my veins... I couldn't understand life without it."</p>

WHAT REINA SAID

<p>Como have secured a 10th-place finish in the Italian top-flight after being promoted from Serie B last season and are unbeaten in their last eight matches. Reina and his co-stars will hope to extend that run and upset Scudetto hopefuls Inter, who are a point behind Napoli heading into Friday's deciding games.</p>
