João Cancelo returned to Barcelona. The full-back, after a spell at Al Hilal, will thus return to represent the culés. After the presentation press conference, the Portuguese made statements to the club's communication channels. «It is an honor for me to represent this club. You already know that it's one of the clubs that I like most, that I've always wanted to play for. I already had the opportunity to play two seasons ago. When there is an opportunity to come to me, it is always an honor to represent what for me is the best club in the world", he began by saying. The 31-year-old player also discussed his debut at the mythical Camp Nou. In the last spell, in 2023/24, Barcelona still played at the Estádio Olímpic Lluís Companys, due to works at the mother house. Remembering his childhood idols, almost all of them from Barcelona, Cancelo also recalled the time when he faced the Spanish team in the colors of Benfica. «As a visitor I don’t have very good memories [de Camp Nou]. I want to have the experience of playing in the stadium. I've been waiting for this for a long time. When I saw Dani Alves play there, I wanted to do what he did. It's something I've wanted for a long time. When I was at Valencia I had the opportunity to come, but it didn't happen. Almost all of my idols were from Barcelona. I played for Benfica in training against Barcelona teams. I identify a lot with the club's culture. I only played for one season, but today I came back and I felt at home when I entered the locker room", he concluded. Cancelo also confessed that he is coming to “add”. However, the Portuguese knows that he will have to adapt to an already well-oiled machine. «When I was here there was already a lot of quality. The boys who are here worked very well and are at a spectacular level. I come here to help and try to win titles. I saw Barcelona after their usual culture playing attractive and attacking football, it was a fair result. It's a total football team. It's up to me to interpret the game well and adapt as quickly as possible", he assumed. The Portuguese full-back represented Barcelona for one season. At the time, together with João Félix, who now represents Jorge Jesus and Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr. At the time, the Portuguese left their teams “empty-handed” when it came to trophies. Cancelo hopes to counter that idea this season. «I had the opportunity to be with the team this morning and they welcomed me very well. I feel at home in this club. It's the only club to date that leaves me with goosebumps. What I can promise is commitment and work. the titles come from that. I was sad not to win any titles with Barcelona, but I hope it will be this year,” he concluded.
