“I will always be grateful to this great club for trusting me. My wife, my children, they all suffered. I have been playing football for so many years and they never suffered so much.
“It is an amazing feeling to perform in the final game of the season. ‘My work is to help the team and pay them back by scoring goals.
“Atletico is a huge club and we have shown it this season. We have been the most consistent performers and that is why we are champions.” he added.
