Javier Mascherano has revealed that quitting Liverpool, was the most important decision he has taken in his career.
The Argentina international has won eight trophies since he joined Barcelona and played his 200th match for the La Liga club in the 8-1 crushing of Huesca in the Copa Del Rey on Tuesday.
Mascherano spent three and a half years as a Liverpool player and made 139 appearances for the Premier League outfit, but admits that leaving Anfield has helped him fulfill his potential.
“I’ve always identified myself as a worker,” Mascherano told Barcelona’s official website.
“I am someone that perhaps wasn’t born with the same talent as other top players but I have always put in a lot of hard work and that has taken me to where I am now.
“Barca is the biggest club that I have been at and to move here (from Liverpool) was the most important decision in my career as I arrived at the top. The demands of this club are the maximum that can be asked of a footballer.”
