It cost me a lot, at the end of my career. I had many joys in Barcelona and many sorrows in the team but I had many bumps along the way and it made me better myself. Thanks to my family and my loved ones, who respect me, I am grateful. I made my dream come true. Although it took a long time to get there, it was the best thing that happened to me and happened to us as a country after a long time. In all this, it is for Argentina and I repeat: thank you very much”
