    After coming back from a liver transplant to play again, Eric Abidal said goodbye to Barcelona on Thursday after six trophy-filled seasons.

    Abidal, who will turn 34 in July, has one match left with the Spanish league champions but would have liked more.

    "Football for me is a passion since I was a child," Abidal said at Camp Nou. "I don't see myself quitting now. I have made all this effort to come back to play football. My health is better now. When my body tells me to stop I will hang up the boots."

    "I would have liked to keep on playing here," he added. "But the club sees it differently and I have to respect that."
