π Wesley Sneijder: "The worst moment of my career was related to my departure from Real Madrid. I felt humiliated because I went to the training ground, and when I arrived, I found my locker empty and all my belongings set aside.
I went to speak with the president. He didnβt give me much time and just told me I no longer fit into their plans and that they wanted to win the Champions League.
Before leaving his office, I said: 'Sir, know that wherever I go, I will play to win.'
Two days later, Mourinho called me. I think he got my number through Chivu, because I didnβt know him personally before.
He said: 'Wesley, I know your situation there is tough. Come to Inter and together we will win everything.'
With Mourinho, it was love at first sight. He assured me I was one of the most important players on his team and that together we would win the Champions League. Maybe he said that to everyone, but trust me, one year with him feels like ten with someone else.
How did it end? You know... I won the Champions League at the BernabΓ©u. I put the trophy in front of my locker and said: 'I always keep my promises.' It was the best moment of my career."
