Amsterdam made me who I am today. There was hardly a better place to learn and grow as a player. Having captained a club like this is the greatest thing I have achieved in my career.

And Liverpool? Liverpool was special. The connection with the fans inspired me to face the challenge of playing in such a competitive league.

The amazing city of Barcelona He welcomed me with open arms. I was able to play with the best players in the world and conquer Europe. What more could ask?
