"I have never experienced this before," he added, referring to the incredible reception he was given by the nearly 100,000 fans thronging the vast arena.
"I can sense that the people love me and I love them too and will try to do my best for them on the pitch, as always.
"I am feeling fine, I didn't do anything for three weeks and now I'm working hard. My dream was to come back and help the team with so many injuries."

"I am happy for the group and the fans," Abidal said after Barca, the 2009 winners, qualified for their second final in three seasons and a meeting with English Premier League leaders Manchester United or Bundesliga side Schalke 04.
They will return to London's Wembley stadium on May 28, the scene of their first triumph in Europe's elite club competition in 1992, which Guardiola took part in as a player.
"Let's see if we can complete the cycle," Abidal added.
"I remember how they won in 1992 and I'd like to do it again. But there is a lot of training and matches in between, we have to take this game step by step." So buy your Champions League Final tickets to see your favourite team in the final!
