Mascherano: "The team has known how to suffer. In the summer our 12th and 13th player left: Xavi and Pedro. Then Rafinha got injured..."
Mascherano: "The team has known how to overcome injuries. We'd made ourselves strong in moments of adversity
Mascherano: "When a group is strong you can survive any situation."
Mascherano: "I don't pay much attention to records. In the end, the goal you set yourself is to fight for trophies, nothing else."
Mascherano: "What people remember is whether you won trophies or not."
Mascherano: "Repeating the treble? Right now I think anything can happen. At the end of the season one or two bad games can cost you a lot."
Mascherano: "Last season, the treble came because it had to, but we weren't thinking about it."
Mascherano: "It would be a great error if Luis Enrique's work wasn't recognized. Barça isn't 11 individuals, it works as a block."
Mascherano: "And Luis Enrique makes that block work based on his idea. He convinces us that we must all go on the same path."
Mascherano: "With Luis Enrique the team has evolved a lot. If we have to suffer for 5-10 minutes we can do it. Before this was difficult."
Mascherano: "Busquets is the best DM in the world, he has a natural talent. He doesn't just defend, he also builds."
Mascherano: "I've never built anything in my life. Only think I can build is a little house when I play with my daughters."
Mascherano: "The future? We have to see how I perform, if the club still counts on me... I never plan the future."
Mascherano: "It's very possible that I leave Barça without scoring. It's not something I obsess about. A goal won't change my life."
