The last applause to the Cat

There is always one last time. Also for the Cat of Catoira, who will receive the last applause from Balaídos on Saturday. Sergio Álvarez will be applauded in the run-up to Celta-Barcelona, game in which he will take the honor kick off to put an end to his legendary light blue career.

A damn injury led to his retirement last season, but the restrictions of the pandemic prevented a goodbye at the height of the character. He had his act surrounded by family and colleagues, but lacked the warmth of a stand that will always have him in the Olympus of his favorites. Sergio will receive this Saturday the last applause from a fans that venerate him. He will hang up the gloves of the legend to collect those of the myth.

In that continental tournament he signed his best personal performance, which helped him to be included in the ideal eleven of the UEFA UEL that campaign.
