Ivan Rakitić: "I think whoever knows me knows the effort that I put into Barcelona, ​​I live football 24 hours a day, even with my family. I have loved football since I was 4 years old."

Rakitić: "I've felt at home here for six years, me and my family have always felt spectacular, the whole city was amazing and the people gave us the warmth."

Rakitić: "Best moments? There have been so many, but if I have to choose one I'd say the Champions League final in Berlin."

Rakitić: "Bayern Munich debacle? We know what happened and nobody wanted that. I felt sad to not have participated in that game."

Rakitić: "Personally, I think the penultimate year was my best year. I enjoyed the most and I felt I had an important role in the team."

Rakitić: "Messi? Every player makes their own decisions."

Rakitić: "I wish Barça good luck."

Rakitić: "Barça is my home and playing here has been a unique experience."

Rakitić: "If I score against Barcelona I won't celebrate."
