Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen admits he feels more settled in Spain than in Germany.
Ter Stegen is now firmly established as Barca's No1 keeper.
He told Libero: "The kindness of the people has made it much easier for me.
"It is not normal for me to be treated so well. This gives me a lot of life. In our profession, everyone is looking at you and wants to make an opinion about you. And I would not like to change because I'm a natural person."
"It was very important for me to get to a city that you can identify with. I think that if you come to a place that does not convince you, you can not be comfortable for many years in that place and feel good. There are players who do not care much, but I do, and now I almost feel better here than in the city where I was born."
