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

It's crazy to say that after three games [without a goal] I was in crisis. I do not care whether I score or not, what matters is that the team win and continue to do so.

I always thought about carrying on training and working, chasing my dream.

The day you think there is no improvements to be made is a sad one for any player.

I want to concentrate on winning things with Barcelona and Argentina. Then if people want to say nice things about me when I have retired, great. Right now, I need to concentrate on being part of a team - not just on me.

Ronaldo was my hero. I loved watching players like Zidane, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo, but Ronaldo was the best striker I've ever seen. He was so fast he could score from nothing and could shoot the ball better than anyone I've ever seen.

My family was always present when I needed them and sometimes felt even stronger emotions than me.
