32-year-old Italian midfielder Veratti, who currently plays in the Qatar League, was interviewed and reviewed his career in Paris.

How do you view the time spent at Paris Saint-Germain?

Paris is like my second hometown. I spent 11 years there and had many memorable moments. I have known many people who are still closely connected with my life today. I grew up as a man in Paris and it changed my life in every way, both as a player and as a person.

What do you think about leaving Paris?

That was the ending of a very beautiful story. I think that's the right time to break up in a good way. When I first arrived I received a lot of love from all the French people. I tried my best to give everything on the court to repay their trust. That (farewell) is the last night to celebrate this 11-year history.
