Former Spartak striker Lucas Barrios has retired

Former Spartak striker Luca Barrios announced his retirement on social media.

I wanted to let all my fans know that the time has come that I didn’t even know it existed: I’m saying goodbye to professional football. For 20 years I have given my all for every team I have played for. Everything could have been good or bad, but I have always given everything to demonstrate over the years the professionalism that every club deserves.

Today my long career ends, but I won’t say goodbye because I will still be linked to football. My new adventure will be the job of a coach. I hope to continue to count on your support in my new challenge. Thanks to all the clubs who have called me with offers to continue my career, but my decision has already been made.

The rights to Barrios belonged to Spartak from 2013 to 2015. During this period, he spent 20 games for the red and white, in which he scored 2 goals. In Europe, the striker is known for playing for Borussia Dortmund and Montpellier.

In an interview with Esporte Record, Ancelotti emphasized that the high competition in the village’s front line leaves no room for compromise. Gravec maje buti is 100% prepared.

“We have a lot of good Viconians, I have to recruit those who are at the peak of their form. It’s not just Neymar, but we can also get Vinicius,” Ancelotti said.

The coach was as specific as possible about his position as leader of Real Madrid:

“When Vinicius is 90% ready, I call up another player who is 100% ready.” This team has a very high level of competition, especially in attack,” said Carlo.

The situation with Neymar becomes even more complicated. After returning to his hometown of Santos, the 33-year-old attacker continues to struggle with injuries. Ancelotti noted that the door is not closed on the legend, but the hour is leaking.

“Neymar is on the list of athletes who can go to the World Cup. Now he has to wait six months until the final registration. We just have to be careful for him and other athletes not to feel sorry for the final elections,” the coach concluded.

VASCHUK about the Ukrainian national team: “The problem is that they cannot be united”

Former Ukraine national team defender Vladislav Vashchuk evaluated the modern national team’s chances of participating in the 2026 World Cup:

“I think all the players in the Ukrainian national team are very strong individually. The problem is that they cannot be united. They won the last match and showed how they can play. So if they don’t play like that against the Swedes, everyone will see: ‘Can you play? Why didn’t you play?’

It can also be said that this is a limit that they have crossed. They pushed themselves and showed everyone, and above all themselves, what they could do. “First of all, if they play together like they did in the last game, they will be a good and classy Ukrainian team when they reach the World Cup.”

According to the draw results, the Ukrainian national team will face Sweden in the semi-finals of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in March, and if it reaches the final, it will face the winner of the Poland-Albania duo.
