During the interview, he said he plays soccer in Barcelona because he feels he is representing the club. Also, he was asked if he would consider contending for the President’s role in the club in the future. His answer was that first, he wants to learn about it. He expressed to have learnt both good and bad things from all the presidents he had in Barcelona, Josep María Bartomeu, Sandro Rosell and Joan Laporta.

Apart from his future, he expressed he does not think about retirement yet, but he has a decision completely made up in his mind: whenever the time comes, he will retire wearing Barcelona’s shirt. Playing for another club? No, he stated he would not be motivated to do so, and he only wants to play for his current team.
