The Uruguay international told Barca One: "I think I should have scored more goals (laughs), but I'm happy. I think they've been five very good years. The truth is that it's a dream to be at this club and I've been here for five years. I hope there are many more to come. Three moments from these five years? I would choose my debut, my first goal and I would choose the third when we won the league at Espanyol.

"I consider myself a great professional, I work hard. These are the keys. I always try to give my best and if sometimes things don't go well I get up and try again. If something doesn't work out there, I try again. This is what brought me to where I am today.

"The debut with Barça was a unique moment. Coming from a small town, it was an extraordinary moment. With (Lionel) Messi, with (Luis) Suárez, so many stars that I had only seen on TV.

"The first goal? It was a terrible game, the game against Valencia: it was 2-1, I got a rebound, the ball was coming towards me and I hit it. Then I ran and hugged Leo (Messi). We had lost the Super Cup a few months before and winning La Copa del Rey was very nice. When you win here it's very fun."
