"I'm happy. I think I'm continuing to grow. I finished last season this way, and I'm continuing in the same vein this season. I'm very satisfied with the confidence the manager is showing in me and with the matches I'm playing and will play. There's still a long way to go. There's been some noise from outside, some doubts because of a few bad matches we've had."
"I'm really excited. Everyone knows what Camp Nou means to Barça. It's my chance to play my first match there. I expect the atmosphere to be the same as always. I used to go to Camp Nou as a fan when I was little and before I played for Barça, now I'll be going to play there. You can imagine."
