Cristiano leaves very touching & emotional farewell message to 'incredible' Real Madrid fans

Cristiano Ronaldo speaks to Real Madrid and their fans via the club's website.
“These years in Real Madrid, and in this city of Madrid, have been possibly the happiest of my life. I only have feelings of enormous gratitude for this club, for the fans and for this city. I can only thank all of them for the love and affection I have received.”
“However, I believe that the time has come to open a new stage in my life and that is why I have asked the club to move. I feel that way and I ask everyone, and especially our followers, to please understand me.”
“They have been wonderful 9 years. They have been 9 unique years. It has been an exciting time for me, full of consideration but also hard because Real Madrid is demanding, but I know very well that I‘ll never forget that I have enjoyed football here in a unique way”
“I have had fabulous teammates in the field and in the dressing room, I have felt the warmth of incredible fans and together we have won 3 Champions in a row and 4 Champions in 5 years. I have the satisfaction of having won 4 Gold Balls and 3 Gold Boots.”
“Real Madrid has conquered my heart, and that of my family, and that is why more than ever I want to say thank you: thanks to the club, the President, the directors, my colleagues, all the managers, doctors, physios and incredible workers.”
“I have reflected a lot and I know that the time has come for a new cycle. I'm leaving but this shirt, this shield and the Santiago Bernabéu will continue to always feel as my own wherever I am. As I said that first time in our stadium 9 years ago: Hala Madrid!”
Goodbye, Cristiano!
