It takes sacrifice as well as talent.

I always had the same style of play. I didn't really worry about people kicking me.

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

My motivation comes from playing the game I love.

The truth is my idea has been to always stay at Barcelona and see out the rest of my career here. Like I always say, one doesn't know what can happen in the future, but if it were up to me to decide, I would stay at Barcelona for the rest of my career.

I am the happiest man alive and I am happy for myself, for my family and for my country.

For my part, I try to do my bit to make people's lives more bearable, in particular children across the globe who are having problems.
