If you're playing for five hours you don't want to score goals all the time and I loved dribbling. I could score a goal, but I preferred to dribble.

I would like my Dad to be alive so he could see what I am.

I learned all about life with a ball at my feet

I am what I am thanks to my mother, my father, my brother, my sister... because they have given me everything. The education I have is thanks to them.

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

My best has to be for Barcelona against Villarreal in 2006 - that is the one I am asked most about, and it is the one I am most proud of. Xavi chipped the ball to me, I chested it down, twisted and hit an overhead kick. It was the final goal in a 4-0 win.

It was lovely to receive the affection from some of the supporters of our biggest rival, ... It doesn't happen to you very often in your career.
