At 39 years of age, Giorgio Chiellini, who now plies his trade with MLS club LAFC, has admitted that his playing days may be coming to an end.
Los Angeles FC took a huge step forward when they were crowned Western Conference champions, defeating Houston Dynamo 2-0 and celebrating at home in front of a packed BMO.
MLS Cup final
Now, they are just one game away from beating Columbus Crew, winning the MLS Cup and lifting the long-awaited second title, a goal that the Los Angeles side have had since the start of the season.
Chiellini, who left Juventus to join Major League Soccer on a free transfer, knows that this could be his last game as a professional player, and he will be aiming to lift the cup.
“I have to understand what I have to follow: My head, my heart and my legs, a lot of different calls. It could be my last game, we’ll see,” Chiellini told reporters.
On Cincinnati
He added: “I think Cincinnati is by far the best team in the league. They were unlucky, but they missed a chance to win (the MLS Cup). They had the best in terms of quality and experience.”
