He walked onto the Stadio delle Alpi pitch not wearing a goalkeeper’s uniform, but instead wearing a cream-colored jacket and trousers. This time, he did not warm up like dozens of times before a match, but instead took part in a unique celebration.
His path was paved by the young Juventus players. For some of them, he may have been an idol. After going to the middle of the pitch, he took the microphone and spoke to the fans. Some of them were holding shirts with the number 1 and Szczęsny’s name on them. A short time later, he also held a goalkeeper’s jersey in his hands, but with the number 252, like the number of appearances in the history of the Bianconeri. This was conveyed to him by Juventus president Gianluca Ferrero.
Why did Wojciech Szczęsny leave Juventus?
– Thank you all. Thank you for seven years of love, but especially for what you have given me in the last month. You made me feel respected and loved. I will never be able to repay you, not even with the best parade. You made me feel at home, Szczęsny said at the Juventus stadium.
The Polish goalkeeper received a standing ovation. It was clear that he had written himself well in the club’s history.
