New Barcelona signing Maxwell admits he was sorry with the way he had to leave Inter Milan.

He said: "I spent three important years at Inter, I was happy, the atmosphere was very nice, I can safely say that it was not easy to leave Inter. I often still hear from my Brazilian friends, I wish them a great season."

Maxwell added: "In the last year in Milan so many strange things happened to me, it was time to change clubs, I was likely to be on the bench. Now I am happy to play in Barcelona."
