The World Cup still in sight

"Winning the La Liga and the Champions League with Barça is a dream, and also my goal," he said in an interview with The Los Angeles Times on Thursday . His plan is therefore clear: “after winning, whatever happens, there is another World Cup (to be won) in Qatar. And after MLS. "
