I’ve always liked Liverpool. I’d play a lot of video games, and I’d be them, because they played in red, like Independiente, my first club, Arsenal, or Chelsea.

I like to think that people who really know me understand I am the same person – and that is something I will always fight to maintain. Obviously the money is there, but I want...

I’m very happy at City, very happy since the day I came. I knew that the project was good, and in my head, there is nothing else but Manchester City, so how long I’m going...
