“Varane-Szczesny: the double life” is the headline that can be read on the side cut of the front page of the QS today on newsstands. From football come two end-of-career parables with different outcomes and opposite directions. Como star Varane surrenders to ailments at 31, while Juve goalkeeper Szczesny, with his 34, transforms his recent farewell from football into a new beginning with Barcelona. Szczesny was also ready to say goodbye to the green fields, after his emotional farewell to the Juventus people. But an injury to Barca’s starting goalkeeper, Ter Stegen, is changing his life and future.
