    A great player and a joy to watch when he was at his peak. Played with such a passion for the club he loves. Good luck to him in whatever his next move is.

    Gutted King Carles is leaving Barcelona. I thought he had one more season in him, all be it a bit part. A massive loss to both on and off the field. He will be back at Barcelona in some capacity before long.

    Great player, always liked him. It was sad to see how for the last couple of years injuries * his career. I remember when he signed his last contract, that I thought that he will probably retire before that contract ends. Unfortunately I was right.

    Everyone has said all that needs to be said. Tremendous footballer and a Barcelona legend. Very sorry to see him go.
