| The midfielder said goodbye to Barça acknowledging his six 'spectacular' years at the club in which he won 13 title. |
Ivan Rakitic is no longer a Barça player, but he will be a remebered in good ways forever. Barça's spectacular No.4 leaves the club.
The Croatian midfilder, said that he has enjoyed six "amazing" seasons at the club. "For me there was no better way to start the day than to take the car and go to the barca traning ground," he said.
"very grateful" to everyone, players, coaches, staff members, managers and fans. "I want to thank all the culers and I hope that all of them have been able to enjoy me," he declared in his farewell speech.
The source had reviewed Rakitic's statements below, from his press conference in which he was accompanied by President Josep Maria Bartomeu.
"Selecting a single moment is difficult. We have had many beautiful moments in six seasons but if I have to pick one I would say the final in Berlin. Also the Club World Cup achieved later in Japan. But each title, each league, each Super Cup is special. I am very proud of everything we have achieved and also of having been able to convey who I am, how I play."
Rakitic on his time at Barça
"I think my penultimate year at Barça was my best year. The 2018/19 season was the one I enjoyed the most ... but everything was marred by the Liverpool defeat.""Over the last few seasons we have been very close to repeating what we did in 2015. Sometimes it's small details, a little luck, that was the difference between making us smile or not."
Writer's pick:
"What the club has achieved is that the seasons are only considered good if the team win a good handful of titles, and that's not easy."
Praise for Xavi and Iniesta.

| Inesta, Xavi and rakitic |
I have learned from all my team-mates and I am grateful to all of them. But if I have to choose, maybe I’ll stick with Andrés [Iniesta] or Xavi [Hernández]. Playing with them was wonderful. They both helped me a lot when I arrived.
The year I met Xavi he was very important to me. And then the same with Andrés, who is one of the best friends that football has given me."
Barça's current moment he said
"I don't want to think about Bayern. I'm sorry I couldn't take part in the last game. You know how I am and I always want to be out there."Read also:
"I will follow everything that happens here and I am convinced that Barça will win many titles again."
“A devalued Barça? I don't think so. I talk to a lot of players, like my team-mates, and they all admire Barça. In my opinion, the first option for all players is always Barça. It is the best club in the world."

A fact to brag about xavi said
"It is an honour to be the foreign player with the fourth most games played in the history of Barça. There's also a stat I've been told about, that I am the one with the highest average of games played per season (51). It's a figure that's not easy to reach."
