IG Javier Mascherano:

Watching @fcbarcelona without you will never be the same again.

How fortunate we were, those who were lucky enough to watch up close how you changed the Club's history!!!

A new stage starts and without a doubt you'll leave your unfogettable mark wherever you want to go.

Thank you for everything you’ve done at Barca. For being a leader without the arm band all the way to when you actually got the armband. For breathing blaugrana and bleeding blaugrana for these past seven and a half season. For accepting your role, in whatever it could be, as midfielder behind Busquets, as makeshift CB, hell even as a weird right back, you always accepted it without complaint. For being a stalwart presence in the locker room, being El Jefecito, everyone respects you and listens to what you have to say. For always squaring up on the pitch when you feel you need to especially to fight bullshit and to protect your teammates. For that crazy ride on the golf cart, where you were on the roof just bouncing up and down, holding on for you life and laughing like crazy. For all your slide tackles, for your hand gestures against refs and other players, for your humility and strength, for that one much awaited goal of yours, and so many things. For your friendship with your teammates but especially the one you have with certain people. For your friendship with Geri, I’m sure he’s the reason you’re bald, for always being such a good CB partner and for always laughing with him. For your friend with Xavi, I hope you know how much Xavi values you, he said you are from La Masia even though you didn’t actually go there, and that says so much. For your friendship with Andres, you both held such a quiet, assured relationship with one another. And lastly, for you friendship with Leo, for the many times you protected him, for the many times you two sat together during plane rides and bus rides and in the lockerooom, for sharing the mate, for coming back from the national team together, for not heavily publicized friendship that people get to see only in bits and pieces but then realize the enormity of it with a quote from Leo saying, “You know how much I’m going to miss you.” For understanding your limits with the club, after all if your choice to go. For the respect we have for you. For so many thing!

Y’all are sleeping on the real “Despacito” remix...
