Real Madrid farewell ceremony

Real Madrid will hold a farewell ceremony for former captain Nacho Fernandez on July 24 at 1:00 PM CET, attended by club president Florentino Perez. Nacho, who joined Real Madrid at age 10 and spent 23 years with the club, won 26 titles, including six Champions League trophies and four La Liga titles. Despite efforts from coach Carlo Ancelotti to persuade him to extend his contract, Nacho chose to accept a two-year deal with Al-Qadsiah in the Saudi Pro League. His departure comes after a successful stint with Spain in Euro 2024, where he contributed to the team's victory. The ceremony marks the end of an era for Nacho at Real Madrid, with Luka Modric set to assume a leadership role in the upcoming season. Nacho's legacy at the club is characterized by his dedication and significant contributions during one of Real Madrid's most successful periods.
