After four years full of challenges and hard work, it's time to move on.
I leave with the feeling that the mission is complete. 4 seasons, 3 championships.
I will never forget the love I received from the fans from my very first days.
Catalonia is my place on earth.
Thank you to everyone I met along the way during these beautiful four years.
A special thank you to President Laporta for giving me the chance to live the most incredible chapter of my career.
Barça is back where it belongs.
Visca el Barça. Visca Catalunya 💙❤️

🚨🫂 Leo Messi on the rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo: “What happened was a beautiful sporting rivalry”.
“It's something natural in the world of football. I was at Barcelona and he was at Real Madrid, and we were competing for everything both collectively and individually, so people were always comparing us.
"But our relationship was always good and respectful, and everything that happened was purely athletic. There was nothing personal.
"We didn't meet often except at matches or award ceremonies, and we were always on good terms.
"Now we're at different stages in our lives, but what happened was a beautiful sporting rivalry”, told @polloalvarezok.
🎩🏅 Toni Kroos: “Pedri is currently the best there is in that position in my eyes”.
“Pedri, in general, is a player who you'll miss when he is not playing, no matter against whom”.
“He not only scores goals, he doesn't only assist goals. He gives you solutions. I had a look at what Pedri is doing this season, and in the Champions League alone, he outplays 52 opponents per game, In La Liga, it's even more extreme, he overplays 59 opponents per game! He beats 11-12 defenders per game, which is the most difficult thing for a midfielder”.
“He is the best. And if you're missing a player like that, you will notice it!”.
MOTM PERFORMANCE FROM WOJCIECH SZCZESNY TO LIFT BARCELONA TO A HUGE AWAY WIN DOWN A MAN! 💥
From being retired from football in October, to putting together star performances in the Champions League.
Incredible ✨
A couple reflections on the quantum computing breakthrough we just announced...
Most of us grew up learning there are three main types of matter that matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Today, that changed.
After a nearly 20 year pursuit, we’ve created an entirely new state of matter, unlocked by a new class of materials, topoconductors, that enable a fundamental leap in computing.
It powers Majorana 1, the first quantum processing unit built on a topological core.
We believe this breakthrough will allow us to create a truly meaningful quantum computer not in decades, as some have predicted, but in years.
The qubits created with topoconductors are faster, more reliable, and smaller.
They are 1/100th of a millimeter, meaning we now have a clear path to a million-qubit processor.
Imagine a chip that can fit in the palm of your hand yet is capable of solving problems that even all the computers on Earth today combined could not!
Sometimes researchers have to work on things for decades to make progress possible.
It takes patience and persistence to have big impact in the world.
And I am glad we get the opportunity to do just that at Microsoft.
This is our focus: When productivity rises, economies grow faster, benefiting every sector and every corner of the globe.
It’s not about hyping tech; it’s about building technology that truly serves the world.
