When someone oversteps the mark, there's a referee.

Messi is an extraterrestrial in every sense, and I'm very fortunate that I was able to enjoy the best, or one of the best, versions of him. Without a doubt, he's the number one, and to be that, you have to control every aspect and be very strong physically.

If we want to be champions, we have to do our homework on all opponents, regardless of their position in La Liga or the stadium.

Results like 8-0 wins build confidence.

Being a player for a big team like Barca, you have to be very strong.

I love coaches that think more about attacking than defending. As a football fan, I think that's wonderful.

I feel happy because I have enjoyed a lot making Barca fans happy by winning trophies, and that makes me proud.

I want all the titles.

When you're leading 4-1, the opponent has nothing to lose.

I want to win every game.

I don't really have a bad memory of anyone I've played against.

I like teams which repeat their style, clubs that are synonymous with one style.

I've always said that regardless of memories, tomorrow is an important game.

I like adversity; that's how I am.

I think it's fantastic that players can decide to go to China and earn more money.

You have to be prepared for situations on and off the field, and everything that happens within the world of football. It's difficult for players at big clubs to deal with these things.

The players on the pitch are the ones who decide who takes the spot-kick.

How marvellous it is to enjoy Messi. No one can touch his numbers, and it is impossible for anyone to do what he has done apart from him.

Messi will be great regardless of the position where he plays.

Records are always something that will be achieved, but they're not our aim. Our aim is to win games and nothing more.

The limits are set by the referees. Those are the ones who are in charge of making sure this is football and not American football.

Nobody wins the league in December.

I think Luis Suarez, not just with the physical side of his game but his capacity to shoot with one touch in the box, knowing where the goal is is great.

Messi is 'The Matrix' - that image when everything slows down, and he can do what he wants.

I like there to be a good atmosphere in the dressing room, for music to be played before matches. We have to entertain the fans and have a good time ourselves.

Pedro has special qualities. He adds a lot, dribbling, scoring, keeping the pitch wide. He's always ready to compete.

Against a team who are tight inside their area, you look to find combinations, the center with the wings or with shots from outside the box.

I always think we have to be cautious with our attitude to refereeing the professionals and the people in the football family.

To be a Barca goalkeeper, it's not enough to have quality. You have to make decisions and execute them.

I like Southgate as a manager, what he brings. He always wants the ball and adapts to the players.

Conquering titles is not very easy.

Guardiola is the best because he has won so many titles, because of the way he did it, and because he's adapted to another country with a very difficult language, and he's implanted his ideas.

The strikers need the midfielders, defenders, and goalkeepers. My objective is to have everything work in all the aspects.

Players become stronger when they win titles.

Pep's Barcelona was spectacular. They had a collective style based on players of talent, which sought control and sought to dominate all over the pitch.

Once the game is decided, everyone looks to score. It's natural.

It seems Barcelona are expected to win every title, but it is not always like this. People think Barca win automatically, but that's not the case.

I'd like to manage in England at some point. My wife wouldn't like the weather; she's from Barcelona and likes the sun. It would depend on the team and the football they played.

At Mestalla, with their support, it's always tough. I don't remember any easy game.

It's difficult to understand someone leaving Barca, with the best players in the world.

Every coach talks to their players. Imagine not talking to Lionel Messi - that would be ridiculous.

I normally talk to my players about everyday situations, and there are not really any secrets.

If the teams with the best players always won, football would be boring.

A coach's life is that, when you win, it is easy, and when you lose, you're no good; it's all your fault.

I love offensive coaches.

This is a sport for crazy people, a unique sport.

I do what I want.

Nobody wins the league in December. We have to go game by game.

Leo would also be unstoppable if I played him at full-back. Messi is simply the best there is.

Dani Alves is a special player, in my opinion.
