I am very pleased it has all been resolved. I wanted to stay at the club and they wanted me too, there was never a problem. There were only a few small matters to sort out.

It doesnt change much for me really and my motivation remains the same - to create a beautiful future with Barcelona, winning many titles.

I was at Barcelona for many years where I won a lot of things and achieved a lot of dreams. For these reasons it holds a special place in my life.

My game is based on improvisation. Often a forward does not have the time to think too much. You have a second, rarely more, to decide whether to dribble, shoot or pass to the right or left. It is instinct that gives the orders.

Ashley Cole is a fantastic defender. I have seen him keep the best players in the world quiet.

Paolo Maldini and John Terry are two of the toughest men I have met on the field.

Football is about joy. It's about dribbling. I favour every idea that makes the game beautiful. Every good idea has to last.
