Yaya Toure Insists He's Happy At Barcelona; Expects Tough Dynamo Kiev Test
The midfielder insists there is no side bigger than the Blaugrana
The Ivorian midfielder was reportedly seeking a move away from the club after failing to hold down a regular place in the Barca starting lineup this seaso but Toure insists that he is focussed on remaining with the Catalan giants.
"At this club football we live football, at a very intense level and play well. I am happy at Barcelona and there is no bigger club than this one," he told a press conference.
Toure also stated that his priority now is to continue "to grow and help the team to win games" before adding that he expects Wednesday night's UEFA Champions League tie away to Dynamo Kiev to be like a cup final.
"Dynamo play with great intensity and have many games undefeated except for the Inter game, if we lose by more than two the Champions League is over for us so it is like a cup final," Toure noted.
