Mo. Three years with RB Leipzig come to an end. What's the feeling right now that you know you're leaving the club? I'm sad. I'm happy. It's... It's difficult because... Because we had... We were together for a long time. Three years, it's really long. And we did great things together. We won a lot of things. And today I will say that I'm sad, because it's my last day, and it's my last dance today. We will all miss you. We will miss your... You’re always funny. Your emotions with the fans, always your good vibes. We had lots of great highlights together. You won the cup in your first season. You won the DFB-Pokal two times. What are your highlights from your time with RB Leipzig? My highlight was... You have a lot of things. I would say that the first game we played against Dortmund was really amazing. The stadium was full. The game was amazing, was difficult. The atmosphere was incredible. I think it was the first time I'd seen that. And the trophy too - the first trophy. It was really amazing. When we were back in Leipzig, we saw the people, and this was incredible. And, yeah, I have a lot of things, but I think this moment was really important for me. You were not only just teammates, but you also made friends. You were friends, off the pitch. What will you miss about the team, about the players you played with? I would say... Everything, because this team, we can do anything together. And, this team, sometimes we are hungry because it's like this. We are family. It's my family. The team is a young team. We are... We were together, win or lose. And this emotion... Maybe I will miss this because it's... It's something I've only felt here in Leipzig. You talk about Leipzig and the Red Bull Arena. It's become a home for you in the last three years. What were special moments that you will miss? What will you miss about the fans and the city? This question is... For the fans, I would say... The emotion when I scored my first goal. When I score, you know, the moment when they say... or when you hear your name, and the celebrations are amazing. And you can see every fan is happy. This is... This is really... This is really exceptional. And the moments like this, it's... I know it's not something you can find everywhere, and this city, it's just... I will miss this city because it's... I don't know, but this city is like my family, too. It's like my family, too. And when I'm out, I feel it - something special. Maybe it's just Leipzig. But you can be really proud of what you achieved here in three years with RB Leipzig. We wish you all the best for the future, and we will miss you. And of course, we hope to see you again in Leipzig. - Please visit us. - Thank you.
