“My father's parents were from Sardinia and my mother's from Barcelona.” — Eric Cantona Quote

My father's parents were from Sardinia and my mother's from Barcelona.

I don't think we can be entirely happy seeing such misery around us.

You can lose in cinema too if you don't put on a good performance.

I don't need to be involved with a game watched by millions of people to be fulfilled.

The pressure people put on themselves and the rivalry between the teams is much more marked. And I think that's a good thing. As long as that rivalry remains within the spirit of competition, it con only spur everyone on.

For me, Barcelona are the biggest club in the world, and naturally, I wanted to come here.

When Pep was at Barcelona, I was so young, 16 or 17 years old. I went to training a lot, and Pep Guardiola told me a lot of things, but I didn't stay in the first team. He is an amazing coach, and if he comes to the Premier League, I think he will win a lot of titles.

The biggest clubs in Europe, whether they be Barcelona, Madrid, Manchester United, or Chelsea, always want to win, whatever they are participating in.

I have a son in Barcelona whom I am madly in love with.

At Barcelona from the early days I was seen as a goalscorer. Going somewhere else for a while has shown me I can enjoy games from a perspective other than just scoring goals.
