Sergio Busquets

Figo was my hero. Then he joined Madrid. Barca fans hated him for that. It was impossible for him to be a hero any more, but now that I'm a professional, I see things differently.

The work is intense. You have to calculate a great deal very quickly which requires football intelligence and real concentration. Part of my role is to shuttle between the defense and the attacking lines to make sure that the ball circulates well and quickly.

A result doesn't determine the planning on the sporting side.

I've always said that I won't be a Barcelona player for 20 years with a secondary role. The moment that I feel my ambition is fading or that I am not able to deliver physically, I will step aside and leave feeling privileged and content of what I gave to the club.

If there's a problem, I prefer to have to swallow that myself than force a team-mate to do so. I think about them because in my position that is what your job consists of.

I would be a dream to score against Madrid, that would be an unforgettable goal.

When you're playing at school or with friends, you always want to be a forward and score goals.

I don't score many goals or do much dribbling, but I still feel very much an important part of the team.

In a final, it's winning that counts, it's not the style of play that people remember.

We want to win every competition we play in.

I genuinely enjoy watching the full-back run up the pitch and going across to fill in.

It's always like that with Italian teams, they're competitive, they know what they want and they know how to get it.
