Dear football,
Today, I want to share with you that this season will be my last as a professional footballer. After so many years living my dream, I feel it’s time to start a new chapter in my life.
Being honest, even though I have been preparing myself for this moment, I found it hard to write this letter. After 20 seasons , many people have played an important role in my career.
When I first kicked a ball as a child in Pamplona with my schoolmates, I never imagined the amazing journey ahead. I’m grateful for every moment: the wins, the tough losses, the challenges, and most of all, the people I’ve met and the friendships I’ve made along the way.
To my teammates, coaches, and every staff member at all the clubs I’ve been lucky to be part of, thank you for helping me grow as a person and a player every day. Wearing the shirts of CA Osasuna, Olympique Marseille, Chelsea FC, Atlético de Madrid, Sevilla FC, and representing my country at the biggest stages has been a true privilege. Every moment has meant so much to me…
🚨🔥 Mo Salah statement.
“I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that”.
“Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it”.
“Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games”.
“Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on”.
“As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.
Mais de um século a elevar o futebol português e a inspirar milhões por todo o mundo. Orgulho em fazer parte deste caminho e em representar Portugal ����🇹⚽ Parabéns, FPF!

0.9% of the UK population is here illeagally, yet Reform UK blame them for 100% of Britain's problems and it receives 90% of British Media time.
It's a con.
Suella Braverman lecturing Britain on migration is the kind of irony you can’t script.
Daughter of immigrants who came here for opportunity...now declaring the door should basically close behind her.
You built a career in a country shaped by migration, then turn around and say the same force has eroded Britain?
This is the same Home Secretary who:
- Called asylum seekers an invasion.
- Had to resign over breaching the Ministerial Code.
- Was sacked after accusing the police of bias and inflaming tensions before Remembrance weekend.
And now she’s rebranding herself as the guardian of British culture.
Let’s be honest. Britain 50 years ago wasn’t perfect. Ten years ago wasn’t perfect. Change is not collapse. Diversity is not decay. And nostalgia is not policy.
If Ratcliffe wants politics, he should resign from Manchester United and join Reform properly.
And Suella? Stop using your parents’ integration story as a ladder you kick away after climbing it.
Britain isn’t being eroded. It’s evolving.
The real question is this: are you leading the country forward, or just selling fear dressed up as patriotism?
This is a very misleading tweet, whoever tweeted this should have indicated the set of migrants being referred to.
This is why an average British person is ill-informed about so many things, because of pages like this.
1. A legal migrant has no recourse to public funds. S/he cannot access any form of aid, their children got no free hours in nursery, no benefit of any kind.
2. A legal migrant paid for IHS (health surcharge- to cover them if they have to use the NHS). (can be up to £5,200)
3. A legal migrant paid visa fees (can be up to £1,000)
Now, listen to this part:
3. If the legal migrant is a student, s/he pays between £13,000 and £20,000 as school fees CASH (you can multiply that by the thousands of students so you can know how much influx of money that is).
During their study year, they cannot work more than 20 hours per week, and the only thing they’re excluded from is council tax. It’s sensible because they barely work to pay their rent and other bills.
4. A legal migrant pays rent to their landlords, pay water bill, council tax, electric/gas bill, tax, etc. They’re not excluded from any single thing.
There’s literally nothing a legal migrant enjoys. They contribute same thing like every other citizen and don’t even get anything in return, no recourse to public funds.
Pages like that of the Home Office do not post such info, they don’t do any justice in informing people, that’s why when you engage an average Brit, they just think you’re the problem.
I mean, I’ve got dozens of British friends and when I tell them these things, they’re in shock. They’re not aware of so many things, they also just think EVERY MIGRANT IS THE PROBLEM.
Do I blame them? Not really, because they rely on the media, and the media feeds them with propaganda. For instance, tell me what it’ll take for this post to include “illegal migrants”.
They know what they’re doing. Keep the British populace uninformed.
@LauraKirk12 Hi, that was me. Someone just sent me this. As someone already mentioned, Sam was supposed to be at the game, but lost his battle against a very aggressive brain tumor. I decided to stand up in the 18th minute for him & my wife started clapping...along with many others 🙏❤️🤍
