'If Barca called me, I would go back tomorrow'

It is clear that the bond between club and player remains strong, depsite the Brazilian having moved on for pastures new two years ago.

"It's impossible to say that I wouldn't go back, I would return to Barca if they called me," he admitted.

The now PSG full-back also admitted that the way his eight-year spell at the Camp Nou came to an end left a bitter taste in the mouth. "If I said that it didn't hurt, I would be lying," he said.

"I think I fought a lot to create a great story at Barca, and to deliver results that even the club hadn't expected.

"I left with 23 trophies in eight years. I ended up giving them great results and they failed to respect my story," he recalled.

That is why "afterwards they wanted me to have a goodbye and I said no, because for me there will be my eternal home, so when you consider a place to be your home, you do not have to say goodbye," he concluded.
