“People may imagine anything, but I’m just as normal as anyone. I’ve been raised one way since I was a kid, with values that stemmed from my parents and later I reinforced all of that in Barcelona, a club with very clear values. I grew up with that philosophy. I don’t have many friends, but they are real friends. Then I’ve always had my family, and I feel happy when I spend time with them and my friends.”
