Did you used to play for Barcelona? Because that's not Barcelona football.

I am really proud to HAVE been an Arsenal player.

My mum has always said I am too hard on myself. But I have always been like that and it has always helped me. After matches I focus only on what I did wrong. Never what I did well.

I've had a couple of years where injuries have not let me develop in the way I wanted. When I was 21, after the European Championship, I had more injuries. Everything has been less continuous and it has cost me more progress. Continuity is what got me where I am.

Messi is the best in the world. Cristiano is a goalscorer. Messi is more taltented, more complete, tactically and footballwise. Cristiano isn't doing those runs anymore like at United. Messi takes more part in the game, I'd always prefer him in my team.

If one day I have to leave Barcelona, probably the first thing I will look into is Arsenal

Hard work does not guarantee success, but no work guarantees failure.
