Rafa Marquez’s past, future at Atlas more important than Friday send-off

The Kaiser de Michoacan will play his last match at the Estadio Jalisco on Friday, but how he guides Los Zorros going forward will be more important

A great will say goodbye Friday.

Rafa Marquez will take the field at the Estadio Jalisco for the final time, more than two decades after he made his Atlas debut in 1996. In between, he's won seven league titles, multiple domestic cups and two UEFA Champions League with stops at Monaco, Barcelona and Leon producing silverware.

"It's my last match in the Jalisco," Marquez said of Friday's Clasico Tapatio.
