“Today I want to speak to you all from the heart. After many years, many matches, many joys and also difficult moments I feel the time has come to close one of the most important stages of my life: My journey with the Colombia national team,” Rodriguez said in a video posted to social media. “Putting on this shirt was a dream but also an enormous responsibility. Every time I went onto a field, I understood I didn’t just play for myself. I played for my family, my teammates and millions of Colombians who dreamed with us.”
