With the end of Betis-Levante, Adrián San Miguel’s spell at Real Betis Balompié came to an end, as did his career in football, since he is retiring.
What’s more, the goalkeeper did so with a magnificent save that secured the win for Betis.
After the match, the goalkeeper spoke to ‘Movistar La Liga’.
His farewell words
On his career: “From that boy who started playing a long time ago, at 10 years old; in the end, life makes you go through moments and decisions. Coming back home two seasons ago, experiencing beautiful things, because that’s what I came for; it was the right time, I felt it in my heart. What better way than to play here today in front of my fans, my people, my family; it’s a source of pride. I have nothing but words of gratitude for Real Betis because they gave me everything from the very beginning, from when Adrián started his career. I owed them a lot and, as I’ve already said, I’m retiring in the place where I belong.”
And he added about his decision: “As I’ve told you, these are difficult decisions because in the end you still feel physically well, but the decisions that come from the heart are the right ones, and I felt moved to make this decision during this week. What better way than to enjoy tonight here with my team with a victory. Thanks to everyone, to all the people who have supported us this year; we’ve had a magnificent season and now, of course, it’s time to enjoy it as just another Betis fan.”
