“I have lifted the World Cup, two European Cups, I have won everything in England and Spain and almost all the European trophies”, wrote the former midfielder, who is leaving football at the age of 36. “It has been an unforgettable trip. I’ve had experiences I never thought in a million years I’d come close to. I have learned three languages and I can say that this has made me more compassionate and wise”, added Cesc.

“A new challenge”
He leaves football and takes on “a new challenge”, as he himself has acknowledged. “I am happy to announce that I will cross the white line and start training in the B team and Primavera del Como 1907”. He leaves field football to enter the world of the bench. This is the journey Cesc now faces.
