I want my tombstone to say that I won the Champions League with Barca.

If Messi didn't have it clearly in his head that Barcelona have a winning project, maybe he would go, but Barcelona are always looking to have a winning project.

In these fixtures, the past is forgotten. What is rewarded is the present. This is a Clasico: two teams that will be at 100 percent regardless of the situation.

There are many variables in each game that make each one different.

I have no problem with people expressing their opinion as long as it is with respect.

Everything can happen in soccer. We have seen inexplicable things.

Playing without a crowd is a disadvantage.

I take into account the importance and the hierarchy of each player, but in a club like Barca with so many players... I know that some are going to get angry because not all are fit and it is a decision that I must take responsibility for, and that is what I do.

I understand that it is very difficult for Barca and Madrid to win everything until the end.

I don't exhaust myself by reading or listening to the noise around me.

Having the ball makes you a football player, not running after it.

I've come from the bottom, I've got used to working with what I have.

Pressure is not imposed on me by the club, I impose it on myself.

I will always try to make my team play well because that way we are more likely to win.

I will try to avoid anything that distracts me from the job or takes away my energy.

If I win playing badly, I will not go home happy and I will never tell the players that the result was worth it.

Regarding the VAR, it is a tool that can undoubtedly make us better. You have to use it because it gives us a clearer view of reality when you have to make quick decisions.

In moments of frustration one may not have refined comments.

Yesterday I was walking past cows in my village and today I am at Barca, coaching the best players in the world. This is the pinnacle for me.

I listen to everyone but I am the first to defend what I believe.

I am a person with clear convictions.

I have seen some great players doing wonderful things, but being so decisive for so long over 12 or 14 years as a professional, I think no player, maybe only Pele in his time, has shown that level. He shows it in every game. I don't know how many hat-tricks he's had.

You will see that I am a direct and sincere person, I don't beat around the bush and I will address something if I see it.

I think the best way to victory is to play well.
