Nacho's departure for Real was confirmed on Tuesday and he has since held a departure media conference.

Nacho said, "Thank you very much for your patience these days and thank you for your respect. I imagined the questions would come. The decision is the most difficult in my entire life.

"It is a considered and confident decision. I'd be lying to you if I said I haven't had some doubts. I needed a new experience and I told the club several months ago.

"Everything is so beautiful that you have doubts and thoughts about holding out for another season. I was honest and I needed a new experience. And I could never dream that the end would be this nice."
