Speaking to a Swedish radio station, the now Barcelona coach said: "I never thought I would be as emotional as I was when I left the field the last league match at home.
"I started crying uncontrollably. It's nice that you can be surprised in, for me anyway, a positive way.
"And maybe I showed everyone that you are not as emotionally cold as I deliberately chose to be on the pitch."
