In a Press conference, he spoke about his Golden Shoe and said that it was really not the thing he was thinking about.

He said: “I am honestly not even thinking about the European Golden Shoe. It’s not in my head at all. What happened at Liverpool is, like I said it was a big blow and I am not thinking about personal things, just getting to this Copa final and winning another trophy.”

The Barcelona captain will face Valencia in the final of Copa del Rey Cup on Sunday 26 May at 12:30 (IST).
