My first memories are from when I was very little, maybe three or four years old playing in my neighbourhood at home. I can picture myself with the ball at my feet from a very young age.

FROM THE FIRST DAY YOU ARE TOLD IF YOU WANT TO BE THE BEST THEN STAY OUT THE NIGHTCLUBS!

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.

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.

I just get on with my game and let the referees do their job.

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.

Goals are only important if they win games
