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.

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 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.

God gives gifts to everyone, some can write, some can dance. He gave me the skill to play football and I am making the most of it.

The toughest opponents for me are the defenders who are tough in the way they play - where you can't see a way through.

I learned all about life with a ball at my feet

I have never imagined doing anything other than football, but now, thinking about it coldly, if I hadn't been a footballer, I would have been a musician.
