Nacho: "Winning everything wearing this shirt has been unbelievable"
"To finish as captain gives it a special touch," our captain explained after his farewell.
Nacho Fernández gave an interview to the club's official media on the day of his farewell to Real Madrid. The captain showed his deepest feelings: "It's a very special, emotional and unique day. Today is the day I say goodbye to the club of my life. Although it's lovely and a tremendous joy to see so many people here, it's also hard. I've enjoyed it to the full, it always made me the happiest person and I only have words of gratitude for my club, for the madridistas and for all the people who make up the club."
"Real Madrid is everything. Every day that I left my house I came here to train and prepare. I left my home to come to my second home. I'm happy to have lived through such unique moments and experiences and to have won everything with this shirt, which for me has been incredible. Also, finishing the season as captain gives it that special touch."
Advice
"Being here is a gift and you have to enjoy it to the max. You have to live day by day and set yourself small challenges and dreams, but always looking to the future with the belief that you can achieve great things, as has been my case. When I was a child I couldn't have imagined this, but nobody is going to take it away from me now. It is the best thing that has ever happened to me."
Message to the fans
"Madridistas, I can't thank you enough for everything and for how good you've made me feel. The Bernabéu for me is something incredible and to be able to play there with you has been fantastic. I'm leaving my home, but I know I'll be back in the future. Now it is be my turn to cheer on the whole team just like you do. Thank you very much, I have been, I am and I will always be very happy and, of course, always a Real Madrid supporter."
