People from outside don't know how difficult it is to be goalkeeper.
Education has been really important for me.
At the beginning, it is all about fun. I had a lot of fun. But then, when I was 10 years old, more or less, I had a coach who said that I had a strange running style. I was about to leave... I had a decision to take: if I leave or if I stay, but as a goalkeeper.
Of course my first goal is to save the balls. This is obviously the most important thing as a goalkeeper.
Sometimes you have faced no shots during 90 minutes, and in minute 91, there is a shot. You always need to be focused, concentrated, and this is what makes you tired, being so focused.
If you think two steps ahead, you forget what's important in the now.
Barcelona want to be at their best in every match.
I have confidence in myself, which is vital to be a Barca keeper.
Borussia are my old love, and that will remain so, but I identify with Barca 100 percent, and on the pitch, there is only one club for me.
The most important thing is not stagnating, to keep improving.
I'm being called 'Messi with gloves?' I think he's had a great level over many years. You shouldn't compare yourself with that.
It is difficult for me to accept that I only sit on the bench in the league.
I don't want to attract attention because I open my mouth.
Football is my job, and all that matters is the present, the next game.
Every position is difficult, but you're always involved in the biggest chances of the opponent; when there's a goal, you're always involved. It's difficult to explain, but this is the importance of the goalkeeper: he's always concentrated, even if he's not running as much as other players. He always needs to be focused.
I don't watch goalkeepers, to be honest.
You can and must always keep improving and working on your game - not just your weaknesses but also your strengths.
I had some different positions. At first, I was a forward, and then, step by step, I kept moving back, and now I'm here at the goal. This was my way.
The truth is that I have full belief in myself.
The Champions League is always special. I believe every player, every fan, every coach wants this trophy. It is unbelievable, and it is one of the greatest achievements you can have in football.
