David Beckham’s late career often felt like a farewell tour. None carried the weight of a Premier League, La Liga or Champions League victory.

Beckham actually won five trophies after leaving Real Madrid. To the casual observer, though, none of them really mattered. In essence, Beckham retired in slow motion. Five and a half seasons with the LA Galaxy and two loan spells at AC Milan formed part of an elongated coda, and it was at Paris Saint-Germain where he finally, at the age of 38, drew his career to a close. In the shadow of the Eiffel Tower he whipped in his final series of corners and free-kicks.
Determined to prove his ability — mainly to England boss Fabio Capello — he took his time in Italy seriously, joining for a half-season in consecutive years. Multiple managers tried and failed to ease him out of the fold, and it was only an unfortunate injury that kept the midfielder out of a last World Cup finals at the age of He remained in limbo, there and not there. The Englishman was every bit the anti-Zidane.
Where Zizou quit the game prematurely and with the greatest possible bombast, Beckham, his former Madrid team-mate, eased his way out, piece by piece. After being linked with numerous clubs in January , he signed for the French league leaders on the 31st, reuniting with Carlo Ancelotti, who had managed Milan during his first loan there.
Beckham would play for free for the duration of his stay. After Beckham announced his forthcoming retirement a few months after joining PSG, the free-kick specialist was widely expected to receive a knighthood later that year — in part thanks to his commitment to the Olympic Games and long-time charity work. Worse still, hacked emails that were leaked years later revealed the extent to which the footballer had, through such charity work, been actively been seeking a knighthood.
In 14 appearances for PSG, Beckham played mostly in central midfield, mostly from the bench. In his 10 league appearances, he lost only once, allowing PSG to ease to their first title in 19 years. In seven of his 10 league appearances, Beckham played less than half an hour.
And in the league-clinching victory over Lyon, he was subbed on in the third minute of second-half stoppage time, allowing him to join the celebrations. During the home leg, Beckham was preferred to Marco Verratti in the middle, much to the surprise of onlookers. Barca dominated the opening stages, but PSG eventually settled down, with the ageing Beckham looking comfortable and classy. Over those four months, Beckham even had time for a couple of trademark assists: one chipped cross to Zlatan Ibrahimovic versus Stade Rennais, and another, even more typical of the midfielder, in his last ever match.
Standing over a direct free-kick, cameras focused on his face, Beckham huffed, puffed and… relinquished shooting duties to Zlatan Ibrahimovic — who scored. As a tearful Beckham left the field late in the game, he drew his long career to a close. It had been a fittingly melodic swan song: charitable, competitive and ultimately victorious.
