It is the season of farewell at Arsenal. The Emirates bid goodbye to Aaron Ramsey earlier this season in an emotional farewell.
Then the Europa League final defeat proved to be even more painful as it meant the departure of Petr Cech had arrived. Now its a third player who has bid adieu to the club. It is none other than seasoned campaigner Stephan Lichsteiner. His emotional farewell message will surely have the Gunners in tears.
“Dear Gunners, we were close to add [sic] an important chapter to this amazing club’s history. But to be close … is unfortunately not good enough. This is hard to accept. I’m very disappointed,” he wrote.
“It was our objective to bring Arsenal back on the highest international level and to win trophies. Both belong to this great club. I wish my team-mates, my coach and his staff, all hard-working employees and all Gunner fans simply the best!
“I’m confident our team can complete our mission next season! I loved to be a part of this club. It was a great challenge and experience without a happy end, unfortunately.
“Thank you very much for your overwhelming support! It was much appreciated!”
