Paris Saint-Germain defender Sergio Ramos has taken to Twitter on Thursday to announce his international retirement.
He also acknowledge receiving a call from Spain's head coach Luis de la Fuente indicating that he would not be a part of his plans moving forward.
The 36-year-old made 180 appearances for La Roja – the all-time record – over the course of a career that stretched over 17 years and saw him win two European Championships and lift the World Cup in 2010.
