Navas said goodbye to Sevilla fans at Ramon Sanchez Pisjuan Stadium on Saturday night. His last game ever will be played next weekend at Santiago Bernabeu

He made his Sevilla debut back in November 2003 at Espanyol. After a staggering 21 years, Jesus Navas called it quits. On Saturday night, it was time for his farewell from Sevilla fans at Ramon Sanchez Pisjuan Stadium, where he made his maiden first-team appearance in December 2003.

The 39-year-old winger left the pitch in the 71st minute of the clash against Celta (Sevilla won 1-0), followed by a deserved standing ovation. Navas bursted into tears during this emotional farewell, although this was not his very last football game ever.

He'll make his ultimate appearance on December 22 at Santiago Bernabeu against Real Madrid. There's no better way of hanging up your boots, isn't there?

Navas won four UEFA Cup/Europa League trophies, two Copa del Reys, Spanish Super Cup and the European Super Cup with his boyhood club. He also won the Premier League crown with Manchester City, two Euro titles with Spain and the World Cup title with his homeland.
