David Silva has announced his retirement from soccer at the age of 37 following a torn ACL. Silva had planned to play for Real Sociedad this season.
\"Today is a sad day for me,\" Silva said in a video message posted to social media. \"Today is a time to say goodbye to what I have dedicated my whole life to. I\'m going to miss you. Thank you for making me feel at home.\"
Silva began his career at Valencia before joining Manchester City in 2010.
A statue of Silva now stands outside the club\'s Etihad Stadium alongside former teammates Vincent Kompany and Sergio Aguero.
