. For Barcelona, ​​it's about stability, performance and results over a season. Both types of pressure motivate me, and I've learned to turn that pressure into motivation rather than a burden.

Is there any competition between you and Yamal?

No, this competitive relationship does not exist at all. The actual situation is completely different from what some people imagine. I have a lot of respect for Yamal, both as a player and as a person, and we have a very good family relationship. Of course, football is a competitive sport and there will inevitably be competition between teammates, but for us, this competition has always been healthy and motivating. What really exists between us is a shared desire to perform at our best, to inspire each other, to improve together, and to help the team succeed. We challenge each other on the field, but always in a constructive way and never take it personally. Our relationship is very strong off the court as we share laughs and experiences and support each other on and off the court. I feel like Yamal is like family and this bond strengthens trust, unity and a positive atmosphere within the team. There is admiration, respect and friendship between us, not competition. I'm really grateful to have someone like him around me who inspires me and helps elevate the entire team.

How is that possible? Are you willing to retire at Barcelona?

Yes, I would very much like to. Barcelona has given me so much, embraced me at important moments in my career and made me feel at home. It would be a great privilege to spend the rest of my career here, if conditions permit, winning titles, helping young players and leaving my mark on the history of the club. But I also know football is unpredictable and I try to live in the moment. For now, my focus is on giving my best every time I put on this jersey and letting it take its course in the future.
