Moyá: A Full Life After Football and Red and White Memories
Miguel Ángel Moyá, former goalkeeper and current commentator, reflects on his career and his present away from the pitch. After his retirement in 2021, the Balearic Islander enjoys commentating on football, an activity that allows him to remain linked to his passion, albeit in a more relaxed way.
Moyá claims to enjoy life more now than when he was a professional footballer. He values the freedom that his new stage gives him, allowing him to dedicate time to his family, hobbies such as paddle tennis, and other plans.
He fondly remembers his time at Atlético, where he arrived after rejecting previous offers. He highlights the confidence that Cholo gave him, allowing him to play important matches until an injury halted his progress. He cherishes the Spanish Super Cup he won.
His departure from the club was unexpected, but he positively values his experience at Real Sociedad. Asked about Atlético’s present, Moyá acknowledges that the season has been unfair, as the team has experienced a downturn at key moments.
However, he highlights the high level shown by Oblak, who has recovered his best form. However, he believes that the League title is practically out of the team’s reach, although he does not rule out any surprises. Moyá regrets not having been able to be an international player, something he would have liked to experience. However, he is satisfied and grateful for his professional career.
