Athletic Club will form a guard of honor for the newly crowned champions, while also celebrating their own achievement — a return to the Champions League. But above all, the evening will belong to one man: Oscar de Marcos.After 16 seasons at the top level, the 36-year-old captain will play his final game in the red and white, retiring at the cathedral of Basque football. Loved across the football world, respected by fans of all stripes, De Marcos will take his last bow in front of a full house that came not just for a match, but for a moment.🫡 𝗢 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻!
