Happy 30th birthday Abidal!
Sandra Sarmiento
Eric Abidal turns thirty today, a player with an incredible honours list behind him. He has won 4 leagues, 1 Champions League. 1 Copa del Rey and both the Spanish and European Super Cups.
It was Claude Puel was gave him his first opportunity at Monaco. Jean Michel Aulas then took him to Lyon, where after three years he was considered the best full back in France, winning three League championships and earning a regular place in the national team.
Éric Abidal came to Barcelona in the summer of 2007 as a replacement for Gio Van Bronckhorst, signing for four seasons. He has gone on to win five trophies at the club, and hopefully there are plenty more to come!
Regular spot in first year
Since he started with Frank Rijkaard on the bench, Abidal has shown on the pitch just what a physical presence he has and has come to command the left flank. In his first season he played almost every game, 30 in the League and 10 in the Champions League.
