Diego Godin and Koke handed the captain's armband to Juanfran as a touching gesture for his final game for Atletico Madrid against Levante.
This tribute came even though both Godin and Koke started the match at the Ciutat de Valencia in the last LaLiga Santander fixture of the season.
It seems as if the decision was taken at the last minute because Godin was originally down to captain the side on the official team-sheet.
This match against Levante was Juanfran's 355th for Los Rojiblancos, scoring six goals and winning six trophies.

The departure of Juanfran is really a sad news. His Atletico career, except for the penalty kick, can be said to be perfect,hope Juanfran scores a goal

A few years ago, Juanfran was full of energy and could run fast on the sidewalk, but he is not as good as he used to be. It is time to believe in young players,hope Juanfran play well in the last game
