After a great 4-0 victory of "Barcelona" against the team of "Espanyol" at Camp Nou stadium, an emotional farewell between the team and the fans took place with the head coach Josep Guardiola.
In the biggest European arena, the spectators remained in their places as the final whistle was blown, and the longtime Camp Nou stadium announcer Manel Vicas invited the main architect of "Barcelona's" victories to the center of the field.
"Life has given me a gift. For five years I could feel you by my side and we enjoyed together the football show that these guys gave us," - a visibly moved J. Guardiola addressed the gathered spectators at Camp Nou and his team's players.
"I did not differ from you, fans. We were all given the same privilege. Well, yes, I was a little closer to the field, but that's the way it is. You can't imagine the joy and happiness that I will take with me. Thank you to everyone absolutely. I would like to thank those who were closest to me the most, because every day we worked hard so that you could enjoy seeing us play. Thank you to all the fans - every day you were not so close, but we always felt your support," - "Barcelona's" head coach struggled to find his words.
"I want you to know - I will really miss you. I am the one who loses the most right now, but I leave you in reliable hands," - after these Catalan words, the television cameras unanimously turned to Tito Vilanova, standing in a large group with the players and coaching staff.
"The pressure was really huge and I needed to reduce it at least a little. But you do not need to know that - stay with us, because we have a long way ahead of us. I wish you all the best of luck and want to say that we will meet again soon, I will always be close by and you will never lose me," - after these words, J. Guardiola returned to the center of the field and soon left the stadium through an improvised corridor formed by "Barcelona" players lined up on both sides of the exit.
