It will be difficult to finish my career here. I don't know if I am going to end it at Barcelona, although I would like to. I don't know what is going to happen.

Like so many of the players, I started at La Masia at the age of 11. I can't ever imagine not playing for Barcelona, let alone not playing soccer for a career. I don't ever want to play anywhere else.

Here I am at the end of the road and at the top of the heap.

I like to read the papers. I make my living from football, and I like to know what's going on.

Here I am, I still go on, you know, like the tides.

But I am not going to live for ever. And the more I know it, the more amazed I am by being here at all.
