Petr Cech retires

LONDON. — Arsenal and Czech Republic goalkeeper Petr Cech has announced his international retirement. The 34-year-old holds a record 121 caps for his country and played all three games as Pavel Vbra’s side exited Euro 2016 at the group stage with just one point.

Cech made his senior international debut in 2002 and went on to represent the Czech Republic at Euro 2004 — where they finished third — and the 2006 World Cup before captaining the side at Euro 2008.

While 2006 proved to be his only chance to appear in the World Cup finals, Cech would go on to play for his country at Euro 2012 and Euro 2016 — but has now called time on his international career.

“Petr Cech has announced his international retirement — congratulations on a record-breaking career,” Arsenal tweeted.

Cech himself posted a message accompanied by a picture of him in the dressing room with his Czech team-mates. — The Mirror.
