Messi is 'The Matrix' - that image when everything slows down, and he can do what he wants.
— Luis Enrique
I don't really have a bad memory of anyone I've played against.
My job is to improve the performance of the team game by game.
Records are always something that will be achieved, but they're not our aim. Our aim is to win games and nothing more.
Being a player for a big team like Barca, you have to be very strong.
In order for a player to score goals, he needs minutes.
Messi is the best in the world, even when he is defending.
Bravo, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, and Jordi Masip are three goalkeepers of the highest quality.
We need the ball even to defend; that's our objective: having the ball and having it as far as possible from our goal as possible.
The objective is always to win.
I work every day 100 percent, but I assure you that I'll quit if my players don't follow me.
I focus on football. I'm not interested in gossip.
To be a Barca goalkeeper, it's not enough to have quality. You have to make decisions and execute them.
There's always a possibility that players can come and go when the market opens.
Results like 8-0 wins build confidence.
I've never known anybody who is able to see what's behind him.
Messi no longer surprises me.
I feel happy because I have enjoyed a lot making Barca fans happy by winning trophies, and that makes me proud.
How marvellous it is to enjoy Messi. No one can touch his numbers, and it is impossible for anyone to do what he has done apart from him.
I think Messi's is a fantastic attitude and should be the mentality that all top players in the world should adopt.
Guardiola is the best because he has won so many titles, because of the way he did it, and because he's adapted to another country with a very difficult language, and he's implanted his ideas.
I think Luis Suarez, not just with the physical side of his game but his capacity to shoot with one touch in the box, knowing where the goal is is great.
I always think we have to be cautious with our attitude to refereeing the professionals and the people in the football family.
Nobody wins the league in December.
I want all the titles.
The strikers need the midfielders, defenders, and goalkeepers. My objective is to have everything work in all the aspects.
Ernesto Valverde is a great coach.
Pedro has special qualities. He adds a lot, dribbling, scoring, keeping the pitch wide. He's always ready to compete.
I've got no interest in justifying myself to a player of mine.
Football is a contact sport and sometimes is difficult to measure that.
Any one of Messi, Neymar, Xavi, or Suarez can take penalties; it doesn't matter.
If we want to be champions, we have to do our homework on all opponents, regardless of their position in La Liga or the stadium.
The limits are set by the referees. Those are the ones who are in charge of making sure this is football and not American football.
When we have a defensive situation in which we are conceding too many goals, it is not just a problem in the defense but the entire team, starting with the coach.
Messi is an extraterrestrial in every sense, and I'm very fortunate that I was able to enjoy the best, or one of the best, versions of him. Without a doubt, he's the number one, and to be that, you have to control every aspect and be very strong physically.
I think it's fantastic that players can decide to go to China and earn more money.
Players become stronger when they win titles.
You have to be prepared for situations on and off the field, and everything that happens within the world of football. It's difficult for players at big clubs to deal with these things.
In football, you have to be consistent.
Players need to control their emotions as much as possible.
I always want all my players to improve and do even better.
I want to win every game.
Scoring a goal is very important for us, but the objective is to win the match.
When you play against Athletic, you know there is no easy ball.
I've always said that regardless of memories, tomorrow is an important game.
I have to take criticisms, and I will continue to take them for what I think is best for the team.
I've been satisfied with everything since I arrived at Barca, and I'm pleased with the players' attitude.
The players on the pitch are the ones who decide who takes the spot-kick.
When someone oversteps the mark, there's a referee.
He has ambition and hunger, but I would not say Messi is the only piece of art at Barca.
