No party: Andrea Pirlo is calling it a day at New York City FC.
We’ve known this for a while, but Pirlo officially called time on MLS tenure on Monday.

NYCFC’s comeback attempt fell just short on Sunday when it failed to convert a third goal in a 2-0 second leg win over Columbus (The Crew won the first leg 4-1).
Pirlo issued this statement early Monday, confirming that his retirement from MLS is also his retirement from the playing field.
He’ll go down as a man capable of playing as beautiful a ball as any in soccer history.
