- Story Text: English football star David Beckham plays his last match for Real Madrid.
It was a fairytale farewell for football star David Beckham as he waved good-bye to fans after he played his last game for Real Madrid on Sunday (June 17).
The English player was part of the team that brought the football club to its 30th league title after a 3-1 win over Real Mallorca.
The 32-year-old arrived at Plaza de Cibeles in Madrid with teammates Fabio Cannavaro, Mahamadou Diarra and Iker Casillas -- all dangling off the front of a bus. They were greeted with a deafening chorus of "We are the Champions".
Wife Victoria Beckham was also seen earlier in the evening, leaving the stadium in a black car.
The couple are moving to the United States soon following David signing a 5-year deal with Los Angeles Galaxy. He starts with the American football club mid-July. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
