Rene Higuita says Goodbye
‘El Loco’ pulled on his old Atletico Nacional shirt to play against a select XI which included the likes of Carlos Valderrama and Faustino Asprilla, but no Roger Milla or Jamie Rednapp.
In an emotional speech, Higuita told fans: ‘It is impossible to know you and not love you. It is impossible not to praise God, who united me with you at this moment. I never imagined this moment, because today I am living both the beginning and the end as active soccer player.
‘I feel the emotion of the beginning, but the nostalgia of leaving a career that I love deeply.’
