Eric Abidal made an emotional end to his Barcelona career

Eric Abidal ended his six-year stay at Barcelona with an emotional send off inside the Nou Camp.

The French defender, 33, who has fought back from a liver tumour and a liver transplant, was presented with a framed Barca shirt that said 'Merci Abi' and thrown into the air by his team-mates. 

And Cesc Fabregas, a target for Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal, and David Villa, who is being chased by the Gunners and their north London rivals Tottenham, may also have played their final games for the Catalan club - both scored in an excellent 4-1 win over Malaga.

Abidal entered the game as a 75th minute substitute to great cheers after announcing earlier this week in a tearful press conference that he would not be signing on for another season.

Memento: Abidal was given a framed shirt as a thank you gift

Abidal was a free signing from Lyon in the summer of 2007 and has gone on to make nearly 200 appearances for what have been some of the best club teams in football history.

During his six year stay he won four league titles, two Champions Leagues, the Copa del Rey twice, three Supercopa de Espana and the Fifa Club World Cup twice.

He was also named in the UEFA team of the year in 2007 and was named as the best defender in La Liga in 2011.
