After 1,128 Days, Soriano makes tearful return
Villarreal captain Bruno Soriano revealed he considered retirement after making an emotional comeback following more than three years on the sidelines. Not since May 2017 had Soriano played a game for his boyhood club -- two operations and a painful recovery leaving the 36-year-old out of action. But after 1,128 days without football, Soriano finally returned in the 88th minute of Monday's 2-2 La Liga draw at home to Sevilla. "It's been so long since I played that I almost don't know what to say," a tearful Soriano told Movistar post-match. "I'm very happy, of course. I had tried to return many times and it wasn't possible." Asked if he had ever considered retirement, Soriano replied: "There were some tough times where I thought that maybe the best thing was to stop, because there had been many disappointments in a row. But now I'm going to try to help the team." -- Agencies
