We will always be the ones standing to the side and trying to bother. “We don’t have to go into these wars and forge our path, which is closely linked to theirs because of rivalries, but I would try to focus on who we are.”

“The current Madrid is more of the same, it broadcasts little, but they get results and in February they will live in all competitions and in the Champions League we will see. If we win we will be remembered forever, if they win it will be one more. The last one, that was a miracle because they were inferior in every round and no one will remember that.”

As long as there are solutions, you have to be patient. I know you have to win here every day, but Xavi comes from home, he knows it, he has loved the club and he is the ideal person to lead Barça. We have to win and play well and when the feelings are not so good, nerves and criticism come. The demand is very high and that is as it should be. But once you’re inside, you get used to it. In Madrid they would be happy with a triumph like the one in San Sebastián, but not us. “That puts extra pressure on the players.”
