“Goals are only important if they win games.”

Money is not a motivating factor. Money doesn’t thrill me or make me play better because there are benefits to being wealthy. I’m just happy with a ball at my feet.

Nobody said it was going to be easy. One more step – Nobody said it was an easy game. Another big step.

Little by little, I’m getting better all the time. I’ve not lost the passion to play.

I always had the same style of play. I didn’t really worry about people kicking me.

I am more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the world.

We continue training, to recharge, to continue striving and do our best. We will return to the field to leave everything.

Every year I try to grow as a player and not get stuck in a rut. I try to improve my game in every way possible. But that trait is not something I’ve worked on, it’s part of me.

Barcelona is my life, they have brought me to where I am today, I could not leave, I don’t want to leave. My heart stays with Barcelona.

As always, it’s a pleasure to get together with our fans at training and feel that they’re even closer to us. Ever grateful for your support!

My family always gave me love and accompanied me in each of my challenges.

My ambition is always to get better and better.

Sometimes you have to accept you can’t win all the time.

It is the time to be responsible and stay at home, it is also perfect to enjoy that time with your loved ones that you cannot always have.

You can overcome anything, if and only if you love something enough.

I love spending time with my children, it’s what makes me happiest!

There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing a happy and smiling child.

I’m thrilled that I was able to share my first Olympic Games experience with my U.S. teammates.

Mentally, I have to get my body and mind in the right place before I start the routine, but once into the zone, it’s like I turn on a switch. I envision myself doing the same thing for the Olympic Games.

Creativity is a huge part of my game as a player. It helps open doors which others don’t see.

Codes are a puzzle. A game, just like any other game.

There’s one thing I’m really good at, and that’s hitting the ball over a net, in a box. I’m excellent.

Family’s first, and that’s what matters most. We realize that our love goes deeper than the tennis game.

The most important thing is to be a midfielder first, not scoring goals. You have to make the game, make an assist for the team, and if you can score, it’s a plus for the team.

I’d noticed him watching me for a year or so, especially when we’d play games where there was running or jumping.
