The Spanish defender Aymeric Laporte, currently a star at Athletic Bilbao, spoke candidly about his experience with Manchester City, admitting that he felt regret after leaving the club he described as "the best in the world."

Laporte said: "I felt regret after leaving Manchester City because I was playing at the best club in the world. Their way of dealing with and caring for the players is completely different, and you don't realize its value until you leave."

He added, explaining the nature of the experience inside the club: "At first, everything seems impressive, and over time you get used to it and think it's normal. But once you leave and lose those unique daily details, you realize how lucky you were."

He concluded his speech with a message of gratitude: "For me, it was an unforgettable experience. I am very grateful to the club, and I cannot criticize anything because it was one of the best experiences I've had."
