Real Betis great Joaquin says he'll always be a fan after his retirement on Sunday.

The 41 year-old completed his career with the final day 1-1 draw against Valencia.

He later paid tribute to his family: "I am Joaquín thanks to them. Many emotions, many memories... A very beautiful day.

"It's been a dream come true, much better than expected; I couldn't ask for more.

"I'm left with the affection of all my fans. I'm going to continue to support Betis, being one more Bético defending this feeling."
