Portuguese playmaker Rui Costa retires
LISBON, May 11 (Reuters)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Veteran Portugal playmaker Rui Costa was given an emotional send-off as he
confirmed his retirement from the game after Benfica's 3-0 win over Vitoria
Setubal on Sunday.

"Retired with my fans, retired with pride, I feel happy now," the 36-year-old
told 50,000 supporters at the Luz stadium in Lisbon after the final game of
the Portuguese season.

"There was a lot of emotion and sadness in my retirement but I feel proud of
my career."

Costa, who retired from international football after Euro 2004 with 94 caps
and 26 goals, returned last season to the club that launched his career after
12 years in Italy.

Costa played for Fiorentina from 1994 to 2001 where he won two Italian Cups.

Costa played for five seasons at AC Milan where he won one Serie A title in
2003/4 and the Champions League in 2002/3.
