Departing defender writes farewell letter to Real Madrid fans
“The day has come. On the 12th of July 2007 I moved to Real Madrid and I was as happy as a child. Ten years later I have to leave the club. I can only thank all of you. Your support has been much appreciated and I want to thank all the fans and all the colleagues that I’ve met.”
“I have to leave this city where my daughters were born and have grown up. I am happy for what I have achieved in here. The best moment of this ten years is...just every day. All the trainings and meetings with every single member of this club. Getting into the Santiago Bernabeu has been magical. My heart is full of your love. Real Madrid and your love will forever be part of my life.”
