::Uncontrollable sobbing:: Xabi has confirmed that he will be retiring from football at the end of this season and posted this poignant photo on Twitter.
I knew it was coming, but it still hurts. Let’s hope our (I’ll always think of him as ours) GQMF decides to continue modeling because I don’t think that I can survive without seeing him regularly. What an elegant, smart player. He was a pleasure to watch and I will miss him terribly. (And I hope that Bayern win lots this year so we can get at least one more look at Drunk!Xabi)

My soul hurts.
Mine too. We’ll have to raise an elegant cocktail in his honor soon.
I know I always say he’s dead to me, but we know the truth. My life will be incomplete without him
I still miss this fabulous man. Even if we were dumped really badly.
