Nacho has released a statement saying goodbye to Real Madrid fans after it was announced that he would be leaving the club after 24 years.
He said: “Dear Madridistas. I want to dedicate a few words to you, which are too few to express everything I feel at this moment. I am saying goodbye to the club of my life, Real Madrid.
“I arrived when I was 10 years old, I trained as a person and as a player, I learned to win and to lose, to fight and to suffer, to enjoy, and to always live with enthusiasm and determination. I learned everything I am today. I have been coming to train in the same place every day for almost 25 years, which is an understatement, learning the values of madridismo, giving my life and fighting for this crest: you have given me everything.
“It’s very difficult for me, but now it’s time to leave with the confidence and peace of mind of knowing that I have always given my best to represent this crest, on and off the pitch. When I was a boy, I often dreamed of playing in our stadium, the Santiago Bernabéu, and today I have the honour of ending my time as the captain who managed to lift our 15th Champions League.
“There are no words to express my feelings. I always wanted my end as a Real Madrid player to be beautiful and at the top, and I can tell you that it is impossible to have a better one than this.”
