Today, we can proudly say that this mission has been accomplished. Wearing the green-and-white, Larsen took major steps forward both on the pitch and off it, becoming a key player for the Estonian national team through his progress at Levadia. During his three seasons with the club, Michael helped Levadia win the 2024 Estonian Championship, the Tipner Cup, and the Supercup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael represented FCI Levadia in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>114 official matches<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>6 goals<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>13 assists<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>9,704 minutes played<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>He was one of the team\u2019s leaders in the Premium Liiga, European competitions, and domestic cup matches \u2014 always showing professionalism, work ethic, and resilience. His development at Levadia was remarkable: he arrived as a young and promising talent and leaves as a mature player with significant experience and a firm place in the national team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Michael Schj\u00f6nning-Larsen:<\/strong><br><em>\u201cMy time at Levadia has come to an end, and I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone at the club. It has been an honour to wear this shirt and be part of an environment that pushed me to grow both as a player and as a person.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>To my teammates \u2014 thank you for the hard work, the laughs, and the moments we shared on and off the pitch.

Your work often goes unnoticed, but it means everything to the players.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And to the fans \u2014 your energy and passion made every match special. I\u2019ll never forget the atmosphere you created and the way you welcomed me from day one.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Levadia will always be an important chapter in my career, and I leave with great memories and respect for this club. Thank you for everything.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FCI Levadia\u2019s message of thanks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We thank Michael for his honesty, commitment, and professionalism.
