‘The feeling was more to retire – I had my stuff packed! But the atmosphere that we created around the group is something special,’ Gomes told the club website.

‘I feel as excited as I did when I signed my first contract here.

‘I’m not going to say that this is my last year because you never know – I said that last season and I didn’t do it.

‘This started in 2014 and now I don’t know when it will end. I believe we still have so many things to share together.’
