“It was a long time ago. I’m older now and this is a totally different time. I’m a lot more conscious now of what it means to take this step. I was very young back then. I came back to other clubs and now Barça too. I’d like things to go well and let the people enjoy it. We want the fans to see a team that is committed on the field and, above all, committed to its supporters´´
