Raúl García to receive San Mames tribute against CA Osasuna
Ahead of his imminent retirement, and in the presence of his former club, Raúl García will be honoured at The Cathedral on Saturday May 11
Following the recent announcement of his retirement at the end of the season, Raúl García will be honoured at San Mamés in the LaLiga match between Athletic Club and CA Osasuna on Saturday May 11 at 21:00 CEST.
The match will have a double symbolic value for Raúl as both clubs have left a significant mark on the spectacular career of a player who has amassed 482 appearances between Athletic (356) and Osasuna (126), the latter the club where he came up through the ranks and took his first steps as a professional.
In this way, The Cathedral will be able to bid farewell in style to a Lion who has defended Athletic's shirt for almost a decade, scoring 83 goals, winning a Spanish Super Cup and a Copa del Rey.
Raúl García also hangs up his boots as the player with third most appearances in LaLiga history, with his 602 matches so far divided between CA Osasuna, Atlético Madrid and Athletic Club.
A true example of professionalism and dedication, at Athletic he will bring an admirable career to an end.
