(as player at Bayern Munich) - September 2019
Contracts are not a holy relic in football. You can like this attitude or not, but it's the truth. Sometimes you have to think about if it is meaningful to try out a new impulse.
Bayern is one of the best teams in the world - on a par with Real Madrid and Barcelona. A move to Barca or Real wouldn't have been a step up for me.

I think Cruyff and Guardiola can go to a mental hospital together, shut up, sit there and play cards together. They would do football and Barcelona a great service.
Any one of Messi, Neymar, Xavi, or Suarez can take penalties; it doesn't matter.
It seems Barcelona are expected to win every title, but it is not always like this. People think Barca win automatically, but that's not the case.
To be a Barca goalkeeper, it's not enough to have quality. You have to make decisions and execute them.
