David Beckham leaves pitch in tears after emotional 'farewell' game

David Beckham shed a tear as he left the pitch on Saturday night after playing what could be his final game as a professional footballer as Paris Saint-Germain beat Brest 3-1.

Asked whether he could feature next weekend, he replied: "We'll see. There's a plastic pitch next weekend. I ruptured my Achilles a few years ago, so it's not great for it. Like I said, tonight was very special. I'll be part of the team next week. Whether I play or not, who knows?" Beckham was particularly touched by the honour of skippering the team and said he would be forever grateful. "That started my emotions kicking in earlier today, when the manager called me in and said 'we've spoken to the players, it's the players' idea - we want to make you captain'," the former England captain told Sky Sports News. "It's really special for an Englishman to be captain of PSG - especially on a night that meant so much to the club and the players. It was an amazing gesture and one I'll always be thankful for."
