Former Sevilla<\/a> left-back Antonio Luna<\/a> has retired from professional football at 35, marking it with a playful social media farewell.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The player said in a post that he felt profoundly grateful and thanked key mentors from his Sevilla<\/a> years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n He opened by riffing on Fabrizio Romano\u2019s catchphrase, then blended humour with thanks. Mariano Pulido was credited with moving him to left-back, a switch he felt changed his path.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n He hailed Ram\u00f3n Tejada for rescuing him during a difficult spell, which left him ready for a first-team chance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Antonio \u00c1lvarez handed him a LaLiga<\/a> debut, pitching him into the top flight virtually overnight. He also thanked all coaches across Sevilla\u2019s ranks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Born in Son Servera on 17 March 1991, he rose through Sevilla\u2019s academy. He debuted in May 2010 against Almer\u00eda to clinch Champions League qualification, then won the Copa del Rey<\/a> against Atl\u00e9tico Madrid days later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Luna made 29 appearances for Sevilla<\/a>, had loans at Almer\u00eda and Mallorca, joined Aston Villa in 2013, then featured for Eibar, Levante, Rayo Vallecano, Girona and Cartagena, plus spells with Volos, Dinamo Bucharest and Antequera. He totalled 125 LaLiga<\/a> games, joked he would not miss any feria invitations, even at 24 hours\u2019 notice, and signed off with \u2018Feliz navidad\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
