It was a special evening. A night full of feeling, gratitude and recognition. Mario Sebastián Viera Galaín received the city’s first tribute this Friday evening, after retiring as goalkeeper and captain of the Junior.
It was 12 and a half years in which this Uruguayan, who arrived in Barranquilla at the age of 28 (he is 40 today), gave away the best of his talent by winning seven titles and becoming the player with the most history in the rojiblanco . team.
Viera arrived at the event venue around 7:45 p.m., amid a crowd that greeted him with songs and expressions of thanks.
“Oee, oeee, oeee, oeee, Vieraaa, Vieraaa! Oee oeee, oeee, oeee, Vieraaa, Vieraaa!” They were heard in unison.
The Uruguayan, accompanied by the mayor of Barranquilla, Jaime Pumarejo, and Junior’s shareholder, Fuad Char, immortalized his hands in the ‘Window of Champions’, the representative place for Junior in the city.
