Brazilian goalkeeper Julio Cesar will play his last game on Saturday with Flamengo, the team where it all started for him, before retiring from football at the age of 37. The ex-Inter remembered the main steps in his career in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport: "My last game will be a celebration: we will not celebrate me, but anyone who has made this possible, Flamengo and their supporters: they took me when I was a child and were with me until I became a man, ready to play in Europe. I will thank them. My career's three most emotional moments? The first one is the win in the 2001 Campeonato Carioca with Flamengo in the last minute. The second one has to be the 2010 Champions League in Madrid with Inter, that was definitely the highest point of my career. Third one is World Cup 2014 when I saved two penalties in the round of 16 against Chile".
Julio Cesar commented also on Buffon's reaction after the decisive last minute penalty call against Real Madrid: "That penalty can be called or not, but the referee could have spared Buffon the red card. That said: Gigi himself said he could have expressed the same things in a different way. But then, when the adrenaline's pumping, you can say something you can regret later".
