"I hope we can win the Champions League and it's a shame we can't play with the fans here, but the safety comes first.

"To win so many titles and the way we’ve done it, of course I am very proud.

"I will miss everything, including the weather! I'm going to miss working every day with these amazing people. They have made my life much easier.

"I didn't expect to be this successful but because of the people here and how they treat my family, it made it easy.
