ZOOM I Emotional farewells at Lezama

Athletic fans paid tribute to Vanesa Gimbert, Erika Vázquez and Sophie Istillart in Lezama on the day they hung up their boots

Lezama witnessed a very emotional end to the Primera Iberdrola 2021/22 season. Despite the result against Sevilla FC not going our way, the team and fans paid a heartfelt tribute to Vanesa Gimbert, Erika Vázquez and Sophie Istillart, the three Lionesses who have decided to call time on their respective careers.

The first two were able to say goodbye on the pitch, while Sophie, who has been injured since mid-season, followed the game from the stands.

After the final whistle, the three players were given a guard of honour by their Athletic teammates and the Sevilla FC players. During the tribute, each player received a commemorative Athletic Club shirt, while Gimbert also received a gift from Sevilla in memory of her three-season spell there.

ESKERRIK ASKO!!
