Eric Abidal’s farewell match with Barcelona was indeed a touching and emotional event. The entire stadium, club, and nation paid tribute to him for his remarkable contributions on the pitch and his inspiring resilience in the face of illness. The players wore jerseys with the slogan ‘Thank you Abi 22,’ and Abidal was honored with a guard of honor formed by 22 socio children after the match.
After undergoing a liver transplant a year ago, Abidal made a remarkable comeback to the pitch in April. His departure from Barcelona marks the end of a six-season journey with the club, during which he became an integral part of the team and won numerous trophies.
Abidal expressed his gratitude during the farewell press conference, thanking his teammates, family, Barca doctors, and supporters. The emotional event highlighted the deep connection between Abidal and the club, leaving lasting memories for both the player and the fans.
