You have to fight to reach your dream. You have to sacrifice and work hard for it.

You know as a player that you won’t have many opportunities to play in World Cups - so you have to take them when you can.

It is not coincidence that at Barcelona we have low-key lifestyles and we have been successful. We know we are football players and not movie stars.

I am the same person as always and I have the good fortune to play in a great team. It was an historic year for Barca and for me but it's thanks to the work of everyone.

Today I am the happiest man in the world, my son was born and thanks to God for this gift.

The Barcelona youth program is one of the best in the world. As a kid, they teach you not to play to win, but to grow in ability as a player.

Something deep in my character allows me to take the hits and get on with trying to win.
