The moment I am off the field, it's my personal time.

Of course Messi could handle a cold Tuesday night in Stoke. He'd be drinking tea and relaxing beforehand. Me? I'd probably be the same.

I believe Philippe Coutinho is a player who would totally fit in Barcelona.

I will be a World Cup winner.

Winning the Ballon d'Or is the consequence of your work.

I just like winning every tournament that I play. All of them are important for me. Each has its own history, its own characteristic, but they are all important.

That is one of the things I dream about for myself: to receive the 'golden ball' someday.

The Libertadores is sensational, but the Champions League... The first time I heard the anthem was a really special feeling. It's like being in a video game; it's living the dream of every child.

I prefer beating Real Madrid to beating Manchester City!

I don't mind being the one people talk about. It doesn't weigh on me.

I am proud of every one of my teammates.

I don't compare tournaments.

I play to be happy in the first place and then to help my colleagues and my team the best way I can, with the best football.

Messi deserves to win this World Cup for all he has done for football.

Above all, I want to be happy, and at Barcelona, I'm happy.

It's good for Brazilian football to have idols, stars, big stars coming back to Brazilian clubs. The tournaments become much better, more interesting. Ze Roberto, Juninho Pernambucano, Ronaldinho Gaucho, and other players who have returned to Brazil strengthen the league and improve the tournaments.

What I think about is my happiness, together with my family. I want us to be happy.

I know that it is a huge responsibility to be the captain, the No. 10, but I like it. I like the responsibility, the pressure, and I like playing football.

I respect his decisions, but football without Messi is not football. It is very hard to imagine football without him.

I admire Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool - these are the teams that are always there fighting.

My dad just wants me to dedicate myself to playing and to focus on the ball.

I don't want to surpass Messi.

Our objective is always to win. Every day, every game, and every competition.

I try to be a good role model for my son, my family, my friends, and then I try to be a good role model for the rest of the people, too.
