Unfortunately, it’s time to say goodbye. After an unforgettable, great memories, I want to leave a few words to everyone who is part of this journey.

First of all, I would like to thank my teammates, my esteemed coach Bruno Lauge and the technical team, the great people working in the club with all my heart. It was a great honor for me to share this time with you.

In addition, a special thanks, from the first day to the last day, we go to our wonderful fans who do not spare their support. In my first match, I will never forget the moment when the entire stadium stood up and applauded me. This moment will remain hidden in my heart forever. This club will always have a very special place in my life.

In my first European experience, I received your endless support, and I am grateful for it. I say goodbye to you with the sadness of not being able to give you the title of national championship you deserve, but I sincerely believe that this wonderful team and fans will win the championship this season. As a real Benfica supporter, I will always continue to support you.

Finally, I would like to thank our president Rui Costa. Thank you very much for everything you do for me, my president. “
