For the moment of Monday 21 June, Karl Vannieuwkerke will return to the match Netherlands-North Macedonia. Goran Pandev was replaced there in the 67th minute. For the last time, because the 37-year-old player hangs his shoes on the hook.
Karl Vannieuwkerke: “With 122 matches, he is the record international for North Macedonia. He scored 38 goals for the national team and is therefore the top scorer. When he left the field, his teammates formed a guard of honor. Opponent Netherlands gave him a sweater with the number 122.”
“Goran Pandev has made a fantastic career. In 2010 he won the Champions League with Inter Milan under Jose Mourinho. He is the last of that group to retire. His future? He founded the Academia Pandev and is therefore going concentrate on the training of young football players.”
