Even before the game started, Cazorla was honored for his achievements in the Villarreal jersey. The 40-year-old received a framed jersey with his name and the number 334-the number of his games completed for the “yellow submarine”.
At the time, the club said that Cazorla was “a symbol for Oviedo”, “his contract extension proves that dreams come true when you follow her with your heart”. The player embodies the club’s values like few others.
