I was at a great club at Barcelona. I loved Barcelona.
Barcelona are a great club, and Brazilians have always done well there.
Barcelona have always been a dream club for me.
I have always wanted to play at clubs like Barcelona. It's a great club. Any player would be happy for them to show an interest.
It's really important that when you come to a club, you know the history. My dream was always Real Madrid or Barcelona, but for the fans of Tottenham, the club is the biggest in the world. So that's how I treated it.
We have to remember, Mourinho worked at Barcelona. He has good memories of Barcelona. The club did well when he was here.
Celtic, like Barcelona, are more than a football club. Our clubs are a symbol of a culture and community that has not always been made welcome in their respective countries.
I had 11 or 12 years in Barcelona, my family is there and also many friends. The fans loved me, I felt highly valued throughout the club and it is always hard to leave the club of your dreams.
In 10 years' time I still want to be at Arsenal, winning trophies for my club and for the national team as well. I've been there since I was nine or 10. It feels like I've always been there, the club's been great to me and I feel I owe them that to be there and to stay around.
When I was in Barcelona, people thought I would join them, but that's not the case. Everyone knows that I think Barcelona is a beautiful club, but I don't know if I should see my career as a city trip.
I am very happy that a great club like Barcelona is interested in me, as that is priceless.
It has always been my dream to be at Barcelona, and now I'm here; I'm very happy. It is the best club in the world with the best players in the world.
I always say that I need competition, and I need competition every week, and in Spain, I was at an amazing club, but I had four matches a year: Barcelona v Real Madrid, Real Madrid v Barcelona, and after that, we'd win 4-0, 5-0, 4-1, 6-1.
The interest of a great club like Barcelona is certainly flattering. That is confirmation that I am doing a good job.
Every club he's been to has had great injury crises. Every club. And it's always hamstrings.
Many great teams have players who have come through the youth system or have been at the club for a long time as their captains. I'm thinking of Steven Gerrard at Liverpool, John Terry at Chelsea, Raul at Real Madrid, as well as Puyol at Barcelona and Gary Neville at Man United.
