🎙 [LAOLA1] | Yusuf Demir: "My first goal for Barcelona was just an unbelievable feeling. It was a mix of emotions and joy."

Demir: "Messi's departure? First and foremost, it actually hurt a lot. I'm sure I could have learned a lot from him."

Demir: "We already know about his standing in the team in Barcelona and what he has built up. It hurts, that he's gone. On the other hand, you have to accept it and make the best of it."

Demir: "I don't read newspapers, but I actually try to concentrate on football every day. Criticism or not, that doesn't really interest me."

Demir: "The most important thing is: We play football. We enjoy it, I enjoy it. The players I have around me are just extremely high quality. I've improved in every area."

Demir: "I have lessons in Spanish. In the team we mainly speak Catalan, because that's so common in Barcelona. I speak German with Marc-Andre ter Stegen."

Demir: "Everyone knows that we have a very young team that is hungry and wants to compete for every trophy. It is just a difficult time we are experiencing together. But I am sure that we will get out of this crisis - if you may call it that."

Demir: "El Clásico is the coolest game there is! I am looking forward to that, of course."

Demir: "I think I'm strongest with the ball at my feet, and it doesn't matter whether I play out wide or in the 'ten position'. No matter where the coach positions me: I want to play."
