Gracias, @realmadrid 🤍

I have experienced many things in football and I know that emotional moments are simply part of the journey. But saying goodbye to Real Madrid is something truly special - and without a doubt another really emotional moment of my career.
When I arrived in Madrid together with my family and friends, I came with excitement, big dreams and high expectations. What I experienced over these past five years is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Together, we experienced incredible matches, unforgettable nights and games that will forever belong in the history books. We won major titles - exactly what every player dreams of when wearing the shirt of Real Madrid. But difficult moments were also part of this journey. Especially the time of my injury was one of the toughest periods of my entire career. That is why I am even more grateful for the unbelievable support I received from the club, my teammates and the fans during that time. I will never forget how much everyone helped me return.

But these five years were about much more than football success. I met incredible people here and built friendships that will last a lifetime. I will miss the everyday moments in the dressing room - the conversations, the laughter and all the little things that made this team so special.

Madrid has become a second home for me and my family. This city, this club and the people here welcomed us with so much warmth from the very first day. That is exactly why this goodbye is so difficult.

Words cannot truly describe how proud I am to have been part of the history of this club. Wearing this shirt, winning titles and sharing special moments with the Madridistas means everything to me.

Thank you for everything.
Thank you for this incredible time.
Thank you for every single memory.

Saying goodbye is incredibly hard, but at the same time I am full of motivation and excitement for the next chapter. I truly hope our paths cross again soon.

I wish everyone at this club nothing but the very best for the future, and I truly hope that the special relationships and connections I built here will remain for many years to come.

¡Hala Madrid y nada más!

Randomly seeing a lot of Benzema slander on my timeline this Saturday morning... and I strongly DISAGREE.

Karim Benzema to Real Madrid is one of the best bargains in football history.

A €35m signing that lasted 14 years at Real Madrid. 5 more years than Ronaldo. 6 more years than Bale.

14 years at the biggest club in the world, under the most pressure, with the most scrutiny, in the most ruthless environment.

He's 5th on their all-time appearance list, their 2nd top scorer (354 goals) and their 2nd top assist provider (156).

He facilitated the greatest goalscorer the game has ever seen, whilst also scoring 20 goals in a season 6 times alongside him and 30 once.

Once Ronaldo left, he produced one of the greatest individual seasons this century...

44 goals, 15 assists in 46 games in 21/22, including 15 in the Champions League, including strikes in 5 straight knockout games, with back-to-back hat-tricks.

Everyone will have their favourites... but Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane haven't achieved anywhere close to the things Benzema has and didn't have the same longevity at the very top either.

As far as I'm concerned, Benzema can sit at any table he wants!

"Medicine can have extraordinary meaning. But it cannot substitute for being present in your own life. The world may need us as physicians.

But the people who love us need us as ourselves.

And that is the role no one else can fill."

Brilliant - and much love to you

A recent survey of 376 healthcare professionals revealed that 63% DID NOT understand the concept of a p-value.

Do you think you can pass the P-value explanation test❓

Are you part of the 63%?
