"I have more experience now. I have travelled, I have played in England, where I was happy, but I am delighted to be able to come back and continue my career here."

"It's always been my dream to play for Barca's first team, It is true that I left before, but I did so with the mentality that it would serve me to come back."

"When a child is that young, you need him, but he also needs you"

"Everything around us has an influence too. Knowing your loved ones are OK has an impact on your play. Having them here with me is hugely beneficial, and I hope it shows on the pitch."

"When you’ve experienced this before, you’re less likely to let things faze you. It gives you a certain peace of mind when you go out and compete."

"Being a mother changes your life."

"That aside, my experience is that of any mother or father - it’s about organising your life and relishing the time you spend with him. Bringing him up the best you can."

"To perform to your best, you obviously need to train well, but you also need a whole load of things beyond that: you need to rest properly, eat the right food, enjoy your free time… I need to be with my son, and he needs to be with me. Until now, it’s not something that had been considered, maybe because the situation hadn’t arisen. But I’m thankful for it."

"I think it is essential, you are never going to be more real than being yourself."

"I started gaining confidence as I have grown up, I gained experience, I gained moments, which when you find yourself in that situation again you know what to expect, you know how to act and how to resolve it."

"At the end of the day, the life of a sportsperson is relatively short, we invest so many hours on it."

"When you are younger you obviously have different taste and likes than when you are an adult."

"See, while football is a team game, and any achievement within it is reliant on working as a group, no matter which way you flip it it’s still made up of individuals – success is just based on whether these individuals manage to form a cohesive unit."

"My job is to play football and these are details that I shouldn’t get involved in but people in power who organise things make it [running women’s football] more complicated than it is."

"When you miss what you love the most, you start to value other things much more."

"There is no secret, it is of all of us: we always want to win. It’s ambition. I want to win every game, I train a lot for it."

"It doesn’t mean that I am overly cautious at every meal, it means that if I have had a bad dinner, the next day I have to take good care of myself. It’s not that I’m strict, it’s that I try to take care of myself."

"Nowadays you have a lot of tools and a better economy to be able to take good care of yourself, not before."

"Ultimately, when things start to improve, your ambitions do, too."

"We've always given our best and we're not changing anything."

"We've always had the same mentality, we've always worked hard from the start and up until today it's been the same."

"There is always room for improvement, always. Everything can be improved."

"I always want to win no matter what."

"At the end of the day is all about being yourself and feeling comfortable in your own skin."

"I have always been very competitive so when it comes to motivation, I haven’t really needed much motivation other than wanting to win."

"Attack is the best form of defence for us. We have good players who can keep the ball well and create chances so that's the best thing we can do, by sticking to our game and keeping possession."

"There are people that don’t know how to find their identity and the things they like, you need to experiment, try new things. Try new clothes, try a new hairstyle, but most importantly have what ever makes you comfortable."

"We do not set limits."

"I feel the social responsibility that comes with being a woman, my mother has it, you have it. The fact of being a woman means you have a social responsibility because in history, amongst all of them, they have brought about change such as women's suffrage etc. Now we are fighting for equal opportunities, valuing a person regardless of their sex and that is important for all women, that we are all conscious of that whatever our profession may be. Ours, even more so because I have not had female role models. Girls today see that they have named several Barça players as the best in Europe and the most important thing is that these girls have the opportunity to do the same. There is still a way to go."

"But when you put in the work and people have faith in you, the results come. That’s how it has been for me."

"We have to do exercises to normalize the fact that there is a football, which is played by men and women, and above all to report a lot because it is difficult for me to find information about when it is played. The day I get an interview and can talking about football is that we have achieved it (the normalization of women’s football)."

"I won’t risk the years I have left to play."

"Fame is just another thing you have to deal with. My life has changed in the last year and it’s still changing, but I’m just concentrating on what I do every day. The rest doesn’t bother me."

"The captain is the first to make a commitment to the objectives that are set internally, they have to lead by example to reinforce that."

"I must confess that I wasn’t aware of where I was playing until it was over."

"It's important to improve condition for women's player."

"I still have the passion in my heart. If I don’t sing, my heart doesn’t beat so strong..."

"I regret not having taken more advantage of time — of the solidity of time, the intention of time. That’s why I don’t like to sleep much anymore. Had I known when I was 20 that I was going to be a musician, I would have taken to the piano, I would have taken the guitar more seriously, I would have perfected my knowledge of music."

"Everything was a bigger struggle for me, everything required a bigger effort, so I understood that the sole basis for my future was discipline, and I maintain that discipline today, at 75...I mean, going out onstage to sing is an act of discipline and of absolute passion. Passion is natural, but discipline is willpower."

"The feeling is the same. You close your eyes and you are on the stage and you feel that warmth from the people."

"We were good friends until Liverpool started winning, then he [Mourinho] started changing his mind."

"To me, Arsenal played much better football two or three years ago. They won matches and were exciting to watch. They create excitement so how can you say Chelsea are the best in the world?"

"I'm sure Chelsea do not like playing Liverpool. When they are talking and talking and talking before the game it means they are worried. Maybe they're afraid?"

"The key to them is Abramovich. The only difference I see between Mourinho and [Avram] Grant is in their press conferences! I watched the game at Everton and they were playing the same as they always did. The media might miss Mourinho, but not me."

"We don't need to give away flags for our fans to wave - our supporters are always there with their hearts, and that is all we need. It's the passion of the fans that helps to win matches - not flags."

"I asked for a table and they bought me a lamp."

""Raúl is the best forward in the world"."

""Raúl is my bete noire"."

""He is a winner. He is the inheritance of Real Madrid"."
