A member of Barcelona’s attacking department has officially said his goodbyes to the Catalan club, marking the end of his time in Spain with a deeply emotional message. The player in question is 23-year-old Pau Víctor, whose departure from the La Liga giants was confirmed over the weekend.
Víctor, a versatile forward, has sealed a permanent move to Portuguese side SC Braga after swift negotiations between the two clubs. Though his stay at Barcelona was relatively brief, primarily spent with Barça Atlètic (the club’s B team) and making appearances for the senior squad, the experience left a significant personal impact on him.
In light of his exit, Pau Víctor took to his official social media platforms to share a heartfelt farewell message, expressing the gratitude and emotions he feels as he turns the page on this important chapter in his career.
He began by stating that this was more than just a football journey—it was the realization of a dream he had nurtured since childhood. Wearing the iconic Barcelona jersey, both at the Johan Cruyff Stadium with the reserves and at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys with the first team, meant the world to him. He always felt like the young boy who had grown up hoping for the chance to play for the club he admired.
Víctor emphasized that playing for Barcelona wasn’t just about sport—it was an emotional and transformative experience. He described the club as a unique entity that instills a deep sense of identity and growth in its players. The values, culture, and community within the club helped shape him not only as an athlete but also as a person.
He went on to thank everyone who had played a part in his journey—coaches, teammates, staff members, and the fans who supported him throughout. He noted that he is leaving with much more than he arrived with: treasured memories, lasting friendships, valuable lessons, and a sense of fulfillment that will remain with him as he moves forward in his career.
Looking ahead to this new chapter with Braga, Víctor expressed confidence and enthusiasm. He affirmed that he will approach future challenges with the same passion and dedication he displayed at Barcelona. He concluded his message with immense gratitude, stating that he will always carry the pride of having worn the Barcelona colors and that he will forever consider himself a “Culer,” a true supporter of the club.
