I never set out to be the best player in history. I think I'm just another footballer. On the pitch we are all the same and when the game starts I always try to improve myself. My intention is that when I retire, I will be remembered for being a good person.

Being a dad changes everything for the better and I’m really enjoying it.

It doesn't matter if I am better than Cristiano Ronaldo, all that matters is that Barcelona are better than Madrid.

The ball is very complicated for the goalkeepers and for us [strikers].

Barcelona gave me everything, they took a chance on me when nobody else would. I never have any desire to play for anybody else, I will be here for as long as they want me.

Allow yourselves to dream and then chase after those dreams. That will always require effort and sacrifice, but be persistent!”
