My back to the goal, physically fighting off defenders, trying to bang my goals in, every week I have to do the business for this club. That's the life of a striker.

People say it is part of the game. You win some, you lose some. But not for me.

When we got knocked out against Porto in the Champions League, I only slept two hours that night. I was not a nice person to be with after that match. I was struggling to get the result out of my system.

Messi is on a different level. The fact he is doing what he is year after year says that he is the best of all time.

Certain things do not effect me anymore, which is not always good. There is always commotion, but I notice that hardly anything affects me or puts me out of balance.

I let people say and write what they want.

I really want be of great value for the team.
