Cesar who signed for Chelsea when he was 22 years, from Marseille for a £6.5m fee in August 2012, has signed a one-year deal at Atletico Madrid in Spain. The 33-year-old Spain defender won every available honor at Stamford Bridge, including two Premier League titles and the Champions League.
"It is difficult to express how I feel, it has been incredible," he said.
In a social media video posted by the club, a tearful Azpilicueta added: "I feel I gave everything. I love it.
"I think it would be pretty obvious to pick the highest moment of my career, when we won the Champions League in Porto. It was my first trophy as captain.
"Chelsea is my home, it always will be and hopefully I can come back in a different role."
Azpilicueta is one of just six players to have won the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League, Uefa Super Cup and Fifa Club World Cup, while his 13 cup final appearances are a club record.
