"The Illusionista", to use Ray Hudson's epithet, has called time on his 22 years at Barça, effective at the end of the season.
All he's said about his future is that he won't play in Europe because he will never play against Barcelona.
Obviously the money move is to China, but how boring.
Salute to one of the greatest.
