Roberto also made it clear that he has been living the dream playing for Barcelona and will always hold the club in his heart.
“In recent years I have seen legends and teammates leave and today is my turn,” he said at his farewell event,
“At 14, I fulfilled a dream wearing a Barça shirt for the first time and I have enjoyed every day since as if it was the last.
“Who would have told me I would go on to play 373 times for the club of my life? And that I would become the club captain, following Messi, Busquets, Xavi and Co.?
“I would like to have said goodbye to fans on the pitch, but I want them to know I am eternally grateful for their support and will always carry them in my heart.
“And I wish my teammates the best in the future — you have another supporter here celebrating every win.”
Barcelona president Joan Laporta and the first-team squad were all present to say their goodbyes to Roberto. It’s still not clear yet where he will play next season but he is thought to have offers from across Europe.
