a All of them. Being at FC Barcelona is a feeling of happiness for me. You’re learning, earning your place. Now I’m more of a captain and the most veteran player but I’m also enjoying it a lot. I enjoy playing, the team is winning, and that’s what matters most.
a For the team to click, that’s the main goal. And if you’re also enjoying yourself on the pitch then so much the better. But the last ten years, apart from those 4 or 5 when we didn’t win anything, I enjoyed them like a kid.a
