In football, the result is an impostor. You can do things really, really well but not win. There's something greater than the result, more lasting - a legacy.

I've no regrets at all, but I still think at times that I would have loved to play in England. You live football over there; it's a great culture. People respect you more; it's more difficult to find respect in Spain. There is more criticism here.

I’d love to be faster. Physically I’m limited, but I’ve survived by using my head.

The way I see it, Messi is the best player in history. He is the one who changes the course of games; he's the best. There is no comparison in my view; he's the world number one and by a margin.

Some teams can't or don't pass the ball. What are you playing for? What's the point? That's not football. Combine, pass, play. That's football - for me, at least.

In futsal, you see whether a player is really talented. You notice the small details in quality, class and tactical understanding.

Like so many of the players, I started at La Masia at the age of 11. I can't ever imagine not playing for Barcelona, let alone not playing soccer for a career. I don't ever want to play anywhere else.
