Cesar Azpilicueta bid an emotional farewell to Chelsea fans in a new video posted on the club’s social media on July 6, 2023. The 33-year-old defender is leaving the Blues after 11 years, during which time he won every major trophy available to him.
In the video, Azpilicueta began by thanking the fans for their support over the years. He then went on to talk about his time at Chelsea, saying that it had been “an incredible journey”. He also expressed his pride at being the only player in the club’s history to win every honour possible.
Azpilicueta’s departure is a major loss for Chelsea. He is one of the most popular players in the club’s history and he has been a key figure in their success over the past decade. He will be remembered as a true club legend.
Azpilicueta is expected to join Atletico Madrid on a free transfer. He will be reunited with Diego Simeone, who was his manager at Chelsea for two seasons.
