Haha,  I was born in Mataró and I live in Argentona, I feel like I'm from them both. I always say I am from Maresme so no one gets angry.

2.- Do you study? 

Yes, I'm doing a baccalaureate.

3.- Musical preferences?

Salsa, reggaeton, but above all I lisent to cumbia from South America. ‘Marama’, ‘Rombai’... I put the music on in the dressing room, but I try to put on all styles and keep everyone happy.

Everything. My mum has a vegetarian restaurant in Mataro and I eat there almost every day. Everything healthy and organic. I look after myself well.

Four. A compass with two flowers (my dad and the other my mum and sister). Two angels for protection, the virgin Lourdes and an eye, which represents my sister.

Above all I like to watch a lot of series on Netflix. I'm hooked on Narcos, El Chapo ... I also play video games usually.

7.- Best friend in the dressing room?

I have a lot. It's a good dressing room, but I spend the day with Cucurella.

I like to disconnect. There's a lot of time to think about football, to see games and when I'm away from it, I like to be with my family, my girlfriend, to walk, to watch tele... 

9.- A hobby?

I play tennis with my dad. We're both really competitive.

10.- Which players coming through at Barça should I keep an eye on? 

There are a lot of strong players. Vitinho is super special, De Galarreta... we have signed really well. Also the players from the Juvenil are pushing, Bernabé, Collado... and, of course, there's the little Xavi Simons.
