Lionel Messi

Sunil Chhetri has called time on his remarkable career.

The third-highest scorer of international goals among active footballers has announced his retirement from international football after a remarkable 19-year career.

"You always used to bug me that there are too many games, there’s too much of pressure. Now I am telling you that I’m not going to play for my country anymore after this game. “I have practically lived the dream. Nothing comes close to playing for the country. So the kid kept fighting. But the mature inside knew this was it. It wasn’t easy,”Chhetri added: "Every training that I do with the national team, I’m just going to enjoy it. I don’t feel that pressure. The game demands pressure. Against Kuwait, we need the three points to qualify for the third round. But in a strange way, I don’t feel the pressure.
