“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!”

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.

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.

Together, we will continue to support the fight against this cruel disease as cancer through elements as important as prevention and research.

It was a real honour to receive the Laureus Sportsman of the Year award.

There are more important things in life than winning or losing a game.

Something deep in my character allows me to take the hits and get on with trying to win.

Music can always be a life-changing experience, for musicians and fans, or at least life-affecting, but it depends on to what degree.

I’m not a big fan of lead vocalists, people who sing but don’t play. I never wanted to be in a band where the guy who was up front just sang. I’ve always thought it better when one of the musicians sings, like Steve Winwood.

I’m a fan of horror movies that have really good stories.

Believe it or not, I’m a big fan of patchouli oil. I know it’s not a universally liked fragrance. I usually combine it with other essential oils – I have many mixtures I like.

I’ve always been a fan of science fiction. My family, we all used to watch ‘Star Trek’ together, which is kind of a nerdy family activity.

I don’t know enough about Woody Allen to be a fan of him.

Really I’m a fan of any movie, whether it’s suspense, action, or comedy, anything that has a good story.

Once I knock Szpilka out, I want all the Polish fans to come on the ‘Bronze Bomber’ train as I bring the heavyweight division back to the top.
