REAL MADRID 2-6 BARCELONA

LA LIGA

May 2, 2009

This celebration was after our fifth goal of the game – my second. It was a particularly special night, given the way we won in the Bernabeu.

I’d played in a new position – the ‘false nine’. It was a plan that Pep Guardiola had come up with especially for this match in order for us to be our most effective. We’d spoken about it a lot before, so both of us were very satisfied with how it worked.

Those big matches can go either way, and I’ve been in games where we’ve conceded four goals to Real and others where we have scored six.

It was a fantastic performance from the whole team. I’m not sure whether it was the best, but it’s certainly a match that we will always remember and cherish.
