Andriy Shevchenko calls time on his international career following Ukraine's elimination from Euro 2012.

Andriy Shevchenko has announced his retirement from international football following Ukraine's elimination from Euro 2012.

The 35-year-old Dynamo Kiev forward won his 111th cap as a 70th-minute substitute in his country's 1-0 defeat to Group D rivals England in Donetsk last night.

"It was my last official game for Ukraine.," he said. "A bit later on I will arrange a farewell game to say goodbye to supporters.

"What are my plans now? I simply want to go home and put my arms around my kids and kiss my wife."

Shevchenko, who made his international debut in 1995, is Ukraine's all-time record goalscorer with 48.
