De Bruyne has not said he’ll be retiring for sure. In fact, he said he doesn’t know what will happen 4 years from now.

[{"selector":"#anim-f08a4f2b-8670-407e-8228-e7f80b83a689 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.240274782432287%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-779e403c-f0f8-4267-82ad-2f0f6e3d65fc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-54e66c48-4868-4700-b9a8-edd58228151e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-100%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Ramos is called up for the 2022 World Cup, you expect that it’d be the last for the 36-year-old.

[{"selector":"#anim-3f3939e0-d482-46d1-8cec-33a6cff1a58c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.1761647336409%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-73f67ec7-fca9-4b8a-b251-f72850dcf025","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-684cbd49-c1a8-41d4-9a69-b16c5ef9f53b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-100%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Modric really overachieved when he led his Croatian teammates to the World Cup final last time out.

[{"selector":"#anim-11ba6a67-4f80-42ec-bd63-b9cc787d1b3e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(27.89212723227748%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a18bc1ae-a088-4443-a2ad-ffe83c6d719a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fda13e7f-1025-45aa-9acf-d93ecc2239e3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-100%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

With the way Hazard’s career has gone recently, he just might be retiring from football soon. He has struggled for playing time since he joined Real Madrid in 2019

[{"selector":"#anim-e6457139-9c4a-4951-aecf-c19be13af304 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.249999886225726%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-62121576-6d55-4544-b0b6-c0381e612ccd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6da3fa2e-9e07-42a4-bf15-257f2ddc047c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-100%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Di Maria is another person who has confirmed that he will not be going to another World Cup after Qatar.

[{"selector":"#anim-3da4a046-db1c-44e2-a948-b31e7c1e4b25 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(11.77884586183674%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-45471ec7-c3d8-4151-af05-b9a56ab3c6ea","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4170f1a3-8eaa-4989-9bf4-9ebbc672cfe8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-100%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Muller is no longer a regular in the Bayern first team and he also doesn’t start many games for Germany either.

[{"selector":"#anim-2f52ad32-4592-4ac1-a65e-6aeb6c1dfe8d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(35.93749999835902%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-57dd2dd3-37ed-441e-b7cd-fe2abf6668e4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-baefa0a6-6e91-4419-806d-8f1b6cf6fe94","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-100%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

By the way, Suarez’s strike partner, Edinson Cavani, will also be saying farewell to the World Cup this year.

[{"selector":"#anim-3b2344ed-d212-4e3e-9cde-f9adbad94afc [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(26.044006038647815%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3afd2bf0-ed05-41b8-b454-f868d62a10d9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4545d5c9-ece5-4c1f-aefd-00c652efc20d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-100%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
