Yes, friends, New York mayor Bill de Blasio dedicated 24 hours to our favourite midfield maestro/king of cool/whatever-the-heck-he-wants-to-be, who, playing for MLS' New York City FC, called quits on his glittering and indelible playing career last month.
Of the honour, "L'Architetto" -- classy as always -- expressed his deepest gratitude via social media, saying: "I couldn't be more grateful and glad to be part of this celebration day..
