Mexico Training Session
The 39-year-old is regarded as one of the best Mexican players by the fans

After having retired from club football at the end of the latest season, Marquez plans to retire from international football after this World Cup.

The midfielder's international career began over two decades ago and since then he has earned 143 caps so far. Mexico's greatest-all time footballer, the midfielder has spent several years playing for clubs like Monaco and Barcelona.

The 39-year-old has participated in the 2002, 2006, 2010 and 2014 World Cup and has captained in each of those editions. With this edition being his last, it will surely be an emotional moment for the fans as the player will look to begin a second chapter of his life after this summer.
