"After that, injuries hit us hard and we have suffered a lot because of them.
"But after a good season last year, we needed certain reinforcements and we needed to keep the squad we had together. But circumstances dictated that we had to sell players and so everything got messed up.
"The sales of Arbeloa, Hyypia and Alonso were important losses.
"Alvaro always did a vital job for us, always played to a high level, and his flexibility was a huge bonus.
"Sami did not play every week but he was a 10 out of 10 on and off the pitch.
"And Xabi? Players like him are very rare. He was the team’s engine, and you know that when you change an engine, it takes time to work again."
