I have still not come to terms with the reality of leaving this club now, changing my life. I love this club. I was convinced I knew what I wanted to say, but this year is not the same. I would’ve liked to have won another Champions League. I don’t regret anything, I tried to give my best and I’m ending my career here with a good number of titles.”
“The truth is I don’t know what to say. After 21 years I am leaving with my three Catalan Argentine children. I gave everything to this club from the first day that I arrived right to the last. I never imagined having to say goodbye. In recent days I have given lots of thought to what I can say and truth to tell I can’t think of anything. This is difficult for me after so many years spent here my entire life. I’m not ready for this.”
