Many memories and emotions have passed inside this stadium – said Ibra, accompanied by the incessant chants of the fans -. The first time I arrived at Milan you gave me happiness, the second time love. I want to thank my family and everyone close to me for their patience. I also thank the players, who have been my second family. I thank the coach and the staff for the responsibility they have given me. I thank the executives for the opportunity. I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to you fans. You welcomed me with open arms, making me feel at home. I will be a Milan fan for life. The time has come to say “hello” to football, but not to you. Come on Milan, goodbye ».
