Thiago Alcantara revealed why he left Barcelona

Spanish Midfielder Thiago Alcantara has revealed the reasons why he decided to leave Barcelona in an interview with “El Larguero" on SER. "I have always wanted to play and since that wasn't possible with Barça I had to leave to find the joy in playing football again. To me playing is more important than winning a trophy, in the end, you always ask yourself 'To what extent I have contributed to the win?'. "I will always be grateful to Barcelona, but I left because I didn't want to be just one of the many. We, the players that were in the cantera, always had the dream to reach the first team - continued Thiago - and, once we get there, we want to play and know that we can become regulars. When that's not possible, it's the moment you should leave. “That's what I did, leaving Barcelona was my decision. Returning to the Blaugrana? I am only focused on the current season, I am not thinking beyond that. The comparisons with Xavi and Iniesta? I never liked being compared to them, because they are incomparable".
