00:00Hello Churijurdin family. It's time to say goodbye to you.
00:06I do it with a mixture of feelings in my heart.
00:09On the one hand, sadness for leaving behind a wonderful stage of my life,
00:13on the other hand, for having the feeling of having given it all to my step.
00:18It has been six wonderful years, where we have grown hand in hand, club, team and me.
00:25Starting as a group of inexperienced young people,
00:28and ending with five European years and a Champions League to dream.
00:32Not to forget the first Basque final in history,
00:35being World Cup champions after so long.
00:38Historical.
00:40Beyond the sporting achievements, it has been years in which I have met people forever.
00:45Good, hardworking and humble, who cheer you up and make you feel at home.
00:51It is difficult to say goodbye to people who have welcomed you with open arms
00:55and have made you one more of the family.
00:58Because that is what we feel we leave behind, mine and yours.
01:01A family.
01:03Thanks to Real and Donosti for everything you have given us.
01:06Skerry Casco and Gero Arte. I will always carry you in my heart.
