Pedro omits Roma from retirement announcement

Former Barcelona, Chelsea, and Lazio forward Pedro Rodriguez has officially announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 39. In his farewell video filmed at Camp Nou, Pedro retraced his decorated 20-year career while notably omitting his former club Roma, focusing instead on his spells with Barcelona, Chelsea, and Lazio.

The Spanish World Cup winner earned 65 caps for his country and claimed 25 major trophies throughout his career. He had been a free agent since leaving Lazio following the expiration of his contract in July.
