Inigo: I didn t expect the Saudi league to be so high. Ronaldo has a strong desire to win.

Q: Players' cycle will always end, right?

Answer: Of course. As you grow older, you know the chances are gradually decreasing because the pace of the game is getting faster and faster, and young people are constantly emerging. I'm always the first to do this when it's time to give way. I've been in shape and competed with all my strength, hoping to be selected one day. Now he has his own list, and I have no complaints. This is his decision and I will always support it. When he thinks I'm in good shape, he'll take me with him.

Q: Did Barcelona really look that big in its advantage over Real Madrid last season?

Answer: I think so. I'm pretty sure. In those games, you can feel stronger, or your opponent is suppressed by us at some point. I didn't feel that way two years ago. At that time, Real Madrid could compete with us. They knew they would have a chance and would cause us trouble. But last season was different. We know that Real Madrid will always have one or two obvious opportunities in each game, but we are more aware that we will have much more opportunities than they do. Tactically we are better, and so are when holding the ball. We create a lot of opportunities.

Q: Can you see so clearly in the King's Cup final?

A: They reversed us, but I never felt that this game would slip away from us. I don't have the feeling of "It's over, Real Madrid is invincible, especially in the finals". Think about it, how strange it is to not have the feeling of "we can't win them" against Real Madrid. But that's the truth. We have a very good momentum, we beat them in the league, and the Super Cup victory was a heavy blow, and these will have an impact. When you face an opponent you once again that you have defeated like that, you will be subconsciously scared. This year I saw Real Madrid in good shape, there were a lot of changes, and there was a great coach like Xavi Alonso, who I had the honor to play side by side with. I have no doubt that it will be much harder to win them now.
