AC Milan had a wasted talent in Divock Origi, who ended his career at 31. His idol was always Ronaldo, who said he saw videos of his years at Milan on YouTube. Origi brought up another name: Marco Van Basten. Both said goodbye to football much earlier than expected. The Dutchman retired officially at 30 after a long battle with his ankles. Origi closed at 31, after more than two years spent practically on the sidelines and without playing an official game since April 2024. Divock was a cult figure, the man who eliminated Barcelona's Messi with a double, who decided a Champions League final with Liverpool, who in Belgium even gave his name to a dolphin and who once was mistaken for Lukaku by the Belgian queen. A career full of improbable episodes, concluded in a similarly peculiar way: far from the spotlight, with his head already turned to fashion and his business projects.
