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.

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