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.

If I could reincarnate as another player, I might want to reincarnate as Thierry Henry at the top of his game.

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

You have to fight for your dream, but you also have to feel fortunate for what you have.

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

I think you have to be grateful to those who have helped you.
