Ivan Rakitic: Barcelona are capable of winning the treble each year

Ivan Rakitic spoke to SPORT after presenting his new Adidas boots together with Jordi Alba and Rafinha. He spoke about life in Barcelona and that he's sure the team has the capacity to go on winning. 

"If someone can do it (win the treble every year) it's Barcelona. We live for this and the club's trajectory has shown that it can be done and we want to keep going on this path, with all the respect in the world for the other teams. We know that we are doing good work and with a hope that can't be bettered," explained the star, who is currently recovering from an Achilles tendon issue. 

He also spoke about Lionel Messi, who is out injured. Asked about playing with and without the Argentine, he said: "It's very different, one is nothing like the other. We know the importance Leo has for us." 

The full interview is in Friday's Diario Sport edition and will be reproduced online in English.
