Schalke 04 winger Ibrahim Afellay said that his greatest goal is again to defend the colors of Barcelona. The Dutch international was loaned in Gelsenkirchen to get more chances to express themselves as starter.

With every match for "the royal blues" former PSV ace shows more good games, but the option of a permanent transfer to 'Veltins Arena' has not among the priorities.

"My goal is to go back to Barcelona," categorical was Afellay. "When I go back to my time there, I can only think of positive things."

"We always have fun during the exercises. When I go home after one of the sessions, I could scarcely wait tomorrow. You really feel how you become a better player" he said.

"I still keep in regular contact with the guys like Andres Iniesta and Xavi. They are among the best in the world and Messi is above all. All are fully committed. They have no other option, if they want to play at the top level" ended Afellay.
