The defence only has good words and affirmed that his debut with the elastic Barcelona was very special for him.

"Never I will forget the day of the debut with the Barça in First Division. This day is when you fulfil the aim of when you are small. It is the moment that fulfil the dream that carry years expecting", signalled. Besides, neither it will forget never of the triplete that harvested the culés in 2015. "In addition to my debut, the best moment that lived there would be when we win the triplete with Luis Enrique. This is something that does very few times", admitted.

Also it referred to the player that more has helped him in his professional career, that was not another that Carles Puyol. The legend blaugrana supported quickly to the canterano and tried that it triumphed in the club of his life. "Of player, definitely the one who more has taught me has been Carles Puyol. At the end, I had it like idol and afterwards went mate and was council after council", aimed. Like trainer, in spite of having been with Pep Guardiola and even with Quique Setién, did not speak of anybody in particular. "Like technician, would say you that of all have learnt something and follow learning", stood out.

It gave him anger not playing the final of the Champions in 2015

The defender remained in the bench and enjoyed of the victory of his mates from there. "The final of the Champions of Berlin against the Juventus is the party that more had wanted to play. I was in the bench and had it very near. Besides it is a Champions that had the opportunity to play enough until fourth and had liked me play. At least it won that it was the important", concluded.
