One of the Arsenal players came up to me afterwards and said it had been an honor to be on the same pitch as me. I thought, My God, that is a great thing to say when your team has just lost.

We are at a good level. Our secret is that we play the same way against each opponent.

Being named among the best is special and beautiful. But if there are no titles, nothing is won.

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.

Motivation is not something I struggle with. I love playing football, I love being in training.

I had said I didn't mind which shirt I played in, but coming from Diego, № 10 is very special.

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.
