Ilkay Gundogan penned an emotional message for Barcelona fans after he left the club to complete a return to Manchester City. Gundogan joined Barcelona last season and had an impressive campaign, playing 51 matches in all competitions and scoring five goals. Taking to social media, the former Germany midfielder wrote a note, a part of which read, "Dear culers, after just one year it’s already time to say goodbye. I came here to face a new, exciting challenge, and I was ready for it. I have given everything to fight for the team and the club the best possible way in a difficult season and I was looking forward to helping my teammates in the new campaign..Now I am leaving in a difficult situation, but if my departure can help the club financially, it makes me a bit less sad.." Gundogan had an incredibly successful spell at Manchester City, where he had memorably won the treble. Manchester City Announces Re-Signing of Former German Midfielder Ilkay Gundogan (Watch Video).
