The emotional tribute to Alaba at the Bernabéu
“Thank you for your love and support,” said the madridista, who received the affection of the fans and his teammates in his last match at our stadium.
David Alaba experienced an emotional tribute at the Bernabéu in what was his final match with Real Madrid. Teammates and fans bid farewell to the Austrian footballer with honors, who has won 11 titles with our team. In the 69th minute, the Bernabéu gave Alaba a standing ovation as he was substituted by Huijsen. The defender left the field embracing his teammates, while fans in the south stand lifted chairs in memory of the iconic gesture the Austrian made during the celebration of one of the comeback goals against PSG in the 2021/22 Champions League. On the bench, he shared an emotional hug with his family.
Alaba: “I have greatly enjoyed these five years with you”
After watching an emotional video on the stadium's scoreboards, Alaba took to the center of the pitch and said emotionally: “I haven’t prepared much, so I’ll keep it very short. I’m shy, but thank you very much for everything. Seriously, thank you so much for everything. I have greatly enjoyed these five years with you. Thank you for your love and support. We’ve had many successes together. Especially, thank you for being with me during a very difficult time in my career with my knee injury. But you were always with me, and for that, thank you very much. Truly, thanks to the club and to you, who will always be in my heart. Let’s celebrate a legend and an incredible person. ¡Dani Carvajal!”.
