The NYCFC season ended with the defeat of Atlanta. A game that however could also confirm the defensive goodbye of David Villa. That of the Mercedes Benz Stadium may have been the last match of the Spanish captain with the City jersey. For the Spanish could have arrived the day of his retirement from football. With almost 37 years and a contract coming to its end, David Villa could take the drastic decision to say goodbye to New York City and football.

Although the Spaniard has never won anything with the Blues jersey, he has left an indelible mark on the history of the City and the fans. It was undoubtedly the most loved football player and that was most appreciated by everyone. There were 126 official matches played by Villa with the New York shirt and 80 goals scored. Stratospheric numbers that show how Villa is in effect a part of the history of the City. We do not know yet what his decision will be, the hope is to see him still in the field with the Blues to write again the story of New York and make City fans dream.
