“A human life is the sum of the memories you accumulate. We have worked together for many years, and I have won the most important trophies of my career together with him.

“Today he came with his family to Istanbul and, although he had very little time, he visited us. It was a big surprise for us. Simeone has had many successes thanks to his love of football. He is a special person, he has a big heart. He is a genius with his solutions and his tactics on the pitch. I love you Míster, I have always loved you and I will always love you. Thanks for this moment that I will always remember.”
