Pedro Rodríguez thanked Laporta for allowing him to achieve his dream and say goodbye to the club of his life. He also acknowledged his teammates, whom he regarded as a source of inspiration, as well as his coaches, especially Pep Guardiola and Tito Vilanova. He thanked Del Bosque for making him a world champion and giving him the opportunity to play for the national team. Rodríguez also expressed his gratitude to the supporters, to his wife Patricia, to his ex-wife Carol — with whom he had shared the first stage of his life and had three children — as well as to his loved ones, whether they could attend the event or not. He finally thanked the national team, representatives of his sports brand, his team responsible for organizing the event, his family, and football. #FCBarcelona #MerciPedro #Football (translated)
