I know how important it is to have a helping hand. In my childhood I had difficult times because of hormonal problems. If I hadn't had support, I wouldn't have been able to fulfill my dreams.

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

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

It takes sacrifice as well as talent.

Every year I try to grow as a player and not get stuck in a rut. I try to improve my game in every way possible. But that trait is not something I've worked on, it's part of me.

I don't look at records, that's not why I'm playing the game. Goals, of course. Every player in my position wants to score goals. But most of all, trophies. My target is always to win trophies for Barcelona, and that will always be my motivation, to win things. Nothing feels better than doing that as a team.

When it comes to being badass nothing beats this It took me 17 years and 114 days to become an overnight success.
