I never imagined how far a dream could take me.

Now I can only look back on the road I've traveled with pride and say: Thank you.

Thank you to my family, thank you to my teammates, and thank you to every fan who has accompanied me on every step of the journey.

I will take away the love and support of thousands of people, and I will have no regrets—I have given everything for Mexico.

No one can take this experience away from us.

From the bottom of my heart, I am grateful for everything.
