Juventus's awesome tribute to ‘Uncle Pat’ Evra after he leaves for Marseille

The 35-year-old's return to Ligue 1 was confirmed on Wednesday, with the Italian champions thanking him for his two-and-a-half years of service

Juventus have released a touching tribute to the club's departing full-back Patrice Evra following the Frenchman's transfer to Marseille.

Former Manchester United defender Evra was heavily linked with a return to the Premier League with Crystal Palace before the Ligue 1 side confirmed the signing.

Evra won five Premier League titles with the Red Devils, as well as three League Cups and a Champions League, before beginning his successful two-and-a-half-year stint at Juventus.

The Frenchman helped the Turin side to consecutive Serie A championships and Coppa Italia triumphs, but had fallen down the pecking order at the club, making just three starts this season.
