The 39-year-old winger, whose tenure with Sevilla has spanned over two decades, made the difficult decision to retire due to ongoing hip issues.
In a heartfelt moment during the match against Celta de Vigo, Navas was substituted in the 71st minute, receiving a standing ovation from the fans. The crowd expressed their admiration for the player who had been an integral part of the team for years, chanting his name as he left the pitch.
Navas's legacy at Sevilla is unparalleled, having made over 700 appearances and helping secure numerous titles, including four UEFA Europa League trophies. His leadership on and off the pitch earned him the nickname "supercapitán" from supporters.
This emotional farewell marks the end of an era for the club, as Sevilla bids adieu to one of its most iconic and beloved players. Navas's impact on the game and his dedication to the club will continue to inspire future generations of footballers.
