I want to come back with a bang, I want to have a big season.
I’ve had time to get my body right, get my body strong. I’m still four or five weeks away from playing a game but I believe I’ll come back in better physical condition than I’ve ever been.
Because of Mourinho, Real Madrid won’t get much sympathy now - and they don’t even have the consolation of winning the game! The big shame is that Mourinho’s behaviour has overshadowed Barcelona’s quality. I would rather have talked about Lionel Messi’s brilliance in scoring one of the best Champions League goals of all time.
He is a real down-to-earth boy who sometimes doesn’t realise he is a footballer but that is because he is naive and has his feet firmly fixed on the ground.

Sometimes it all still feels like a mass of dots. But more and more these days, I feel like we’re all connected. And it’s beautiful… and funny… and good.
I also look at a lot of Spanish football, because players such as Xabi Alonso are there.
