Mathieu Valbuena was at Marsellie only for 8 seasons but developed legendary status at the French club. Considered by many as an excellent player but never given the recognition he deserves, mainly due to his diminutive figure, the Frenchman will be joining Russian club Dinamo Moscow after both sides agreed to a move.
Valbuena appeared for his press conference sporting a tank top (as opposed to a more formal or a training gear appearance) and broke down as he spoke about his time at the club. The Southern French club have also retired his No.28 shirt, in tribute to their tiny midfielder.
