Villarreal forward reveals love for Barcelona: It's the club of my heart

Georgian forward Giorgi Mikautadze has revealed his great love for Barcelona, expressing his hope to one day have the chance to wear the Catalan club's shirt.

A Villarreal player, who has scored five goals this season, including three in La Liga and two in the UEFA Champions League, said: "I have to keep working, so that I can get, why not, a chance to join a big club like Barcelona."

Mikautadze concluded his remarks by affirming his confidence in his abilities, stating: "I believe I have the qualities that enable me to become one of the best strikers in La Liga."
