Olympique Marseille signing Ruben Blanco sends Celta Vigo farewell

Olympique Marseille signing Ruben Blanco has posted his farewell to Celta Vigo.

Goalkeeper Blanco has left Celta for OM today.

“Since I arrived at the Celta youth academy as a child, in the infantiles, I began to fulfill the dream of every Celta child. I have indelible memories of A Madroa, training, learning, teammates and going up the steps to reach the first team," said the Spain U21 international.

“I had the opportunity to make my debut in the Primera Division at the age of 17 in Valladolid and, a week later, I defended the goal for Balaídos, playing against us and achieving permanence. I will never forget how I came out on the shoulders of Balaídos even though I was almost a child.

"I'm leaving Celta, but Celta won't leave me because I'll always take it with me wherever I go."
