David Luiz says he will always relish his time with Paris Saint-Germain.
The defender gave an official farewell to the reigning Ligue 1 champions earlier today, having made a £34 million deadline day move back to Chelsea.
After fabricated quotes of the Brazilian criticising the level of French football were recently dismissed, Luiz reiterated his admiration for the league, the players and fans.
“I’d like to thank everyone at PSG and in France,” Luiz said to the club’s official website.
“I love this country, even though people often try to get me to say mean things about France and Ligue 1.
“It’s not true! I have only given one interview since my departure, and that was when I was presented to the press at Chelsea.
“From my arrival in Paris to my departure, I always did my best to respect everyone.
“I respect everyone at PSG, in Paris and in France. I leave here with a lot of fantastic memories. Thanks to everyone and make the most of your life!”
Luiz is set to make his first apperance back in a Chelsea shirt against Swansea this weekend.
