“Dear Madridistas: The moment has happened. The moment I would never have wanted to see arriving, but it is football, and in life, everything has a start and an end … Saturday, I will play my last match at the Santiago Bernabéu. I arrived in 2012 with the joy of wearing the jersey for the best team in the world and with the ambition of doing great things, but I could not imagine what was going to follow. Playing for Real Madrid changed my life as a footballer and as a person. I am proud to have participated in one of the most splendid periods of the best club in history. I would like to thank the club from the bottom of my heart, in particular President Florentino Pérez, my teammates, my coaches and all the people who helped me throughout this period. Throughout these years, I experienced incredible moments, returns that seemed impossible, finals, celebrations and magical nights in the Bernabéu … We won everything and I was very happy. Very, very happy. But beyond titles and victories, I carry in my heart the affection of all Madridistas. I really don't know how to explain the special link I have with you and how much I felt and still feel supported, respected and loved. I will never forget all the ovations and all the gestures of affection which you have shown towards me. I'm leaving my heart full. Full of pride, gratitude and indelible memories. And even if, after the Club World Cup, I will not wear this jersey on the ground, I will always be a Madridista. We will meet again. Real Madrid will always be my house. For the rest of my life ”said the number 10 of the Merengue on Instagram.
