Dear Cityzens,
Today marks the end of an unforgettable chapter in my life, a five-year journey filled with countless memories. Before leaving, I wanted to thank the board, the manager and the staff for giving me the chance to prove myself at the highest level.
To my teammates, both past and present. Sharing the pitch and the dressing room with you has been a pleasure.
Together, we’ve broken countless records, achieved what seemed impossible and never stopped believing in ourselves during the challenging times we faced. Our last season will forever be remembered in our Club and beyond, and I’m proud to have been a part of it.
Finally, I wanted to thank you, Cityzens. Thank you for making me feel like a part of your family from day one, and giving me the confidence every time I stepped onto the pitch wearing this shirt. I’ll be forever grateful for your support and your love.
Today I leave but I will never forget any of you.
I wish the very best for the Club in the future, until we meet again.
Thank you for everything,
Riyad.
Aguero and Forlan ended Atletico’s decade long absence from Champions League football, then won their first European trophy in nearly 50 years. All for a side who spent much of the 2000’s between the second division and midtable.

I’ll never understand the Aguero slander, easily the best Premier League striker of the 2010’s. In fact I don’t think there’s a single debate to be had about this
