The match against Brazil was football at its best. Both sides had opportunities to win the game.

It really came down to deciding between baseball and soccer. Soccer won out because I enjoyed it more.

It can be boring to see the same players winning every time.

In Dortmund, they say the derby is more important than the championship. You can feel it around the game.

All I can say is that I have arrived with the desire to be a success at Barca, that I am hungry to win titles.

You hear all these people saying, 'Oh, Pep, what a good manager he is.' Forget about it. Cruyff was the best, by far.

The goals made such a difference to the way this game went.

When we got knocked out against Porto in the Champions League, I only slept two hours that night. I was not a nice person to be with after that match. I was struggling to get the result out of my system.

I think Barcelona and the Spanish national team have been good for soccer because there are a lot of teams that come up playing from the back: with the goalie, the defense, moving up a defender to midfield, playing attacking soccer. I think fans want to see that. They want to see beautiful soccer, a spectacle, and Barcelona does that.

The Champions League is the competition everyone wants to be in.
