It was fit to bursting in the ‘Juan Cortés’ press room at La Rosaleda stadium this morning. The reason was none other than to bid farewell to our eternal captain, who has played the most matches in the history of Málaga CF. Sergio Paulo Barbosa Valente ‘Duda’.

The Blue and Whites’ number ‘17’ was surrounded by the entire first team, coaching team, family and friends, on one of the most difficult days of his lengthy, professional career. Duda thanked all the Malaguista family, particularly the ‘pichitas’, the equipment managers for the Blue and Whites’ team, Miguel Zambrana and Juan Carlos Salcedo, for the support received during his career with the Blue and Whites.
