Just seeing the words “comunicado oficial” (“official announcement”) in the last several days brought dread into my heart. Mesut, Antonio and Kaká, thank you and you will be missed (some more than others). Gareth, welcome to Madrid, I hope it all goes well for you, but you haven’t earned the right to kiss the escudo yet (Isco and Carva, on the other hand, got it right). Anyway, in case anyone needs any cheering up…
These moments are from Sunday’s game against Athletic.
P.S. How adorable and endearing are Sergio and Mesut’s “see you later” (because I refuse to believe that their bromance will be broken up by this) messages to each other? Here, here and here. Along the same lines are the statements Sergio made today. By the way, can anyone explain to me what is “foundly”?
