What should we wish for you, Gonzalo? Should we wish more goals? More honours? More beautiful victories? More admiration?

We hope all your wishes will come true. We hope you’ll be able to enjoy every single day of your life, surrounded by people close to your heart. We wish you to be healthy so you don’t have to experience the discomfort you felt during your injury never again. We wish you the strength to overcome everything that could possibly get in your way, but we’re sure you’ll be fine: you proved more than once what a fighter you are. We wish you to win more La Liga trophies, Champions Leagues and a World Cup with your beloved Argentina. We hope you’ll never give up in reaching your goals. Remember – we will always stand behind you, in bad and good times.

Thank you for being you and being an example for everything that’s good and worthy in life. For us, you are already a great person and a great player. Maybe the best wish would be “stay yourself and never change”. Just keep believeing in yourself, keep fighting and keep winning with your weakness. We, Madridistas, love you, as our player and our captain. But people will not only remember you as a great striker. People will also remember you as a great and humble person. Only people with your kind of character and with strong personality achieve what you achieved: to be loved and admired by everyone. You achieved your main goal Gonzalo, and we’re so proud of you.
