Former Chelsea fullback Filipe Luis is excited about his return to Atletico Madrid.

The defender completed his move formally yesterday.

“As of today I'm an Atlético Madrid player again. Let me take the opportunity to thank all the Chelsea family (fans, players, coaching staff, etc) for the great year I had with them, and of course Atlético Madrid for their great effort in bringing me back to the club.

"I'd also like to thank the Atlético Madrid fans for the support and love they've shown me over the entire year and especially in recent days. Now I'm only concerned with putting myself at the orders of the 'gaffer' and to start working with the team and fighting to keep making history with Atlético Madrid. Thank you to everyone!" he declared on his website.
