He recalled to RAC1: “Yes, I thought about it. The first six months were complicated for me and my family.
"After the World Cup, I improved and I was able to finish the season well. I was calmer, but the beginning was quite difficult. Adapting to the club was difficult for me.
“Playing for Barcelona means that the main objective is to win all the titles: La Liga, the Champions League, the Copa del Rey, the Super Cup… If you’re at a club like this and you don’t set yourself that goal, you’re in the wrong place.”
