Sergio Busquets Quotes

I'll never play in Barcelona, because in Spain I am a Real Madrid supporter.

In Barcelona, things seem so different. For example, I know that it's traditionally the least Spanish city, but you'd never know they had a monarchy, coming here as a tourist - as opposed to the U.K., where the Queen is probably the best-known animal, vegetable and/or mineral going when it comes to overseas visitors.

I am much more grateful and linked to Real Madrid than to Barcelona.

When I'm out and about or walking my dogs, United fans are coming up to me saying, 'We'd rather City win the league than Liverpool.' It's strange to hear, but I can assure you the United players aren't going to leave a red carpet and say, 'Go on, City, score past us.'

It's always a pleasure to be wanted by a club such as Paris St. Germain, especially as I am Parisian.

Every country is different, every league is different - all the culture.

Barcelona, of course, it is part of me.
