The LaLiga champions confirmed the signing of the French defender on Thursday, with the player penning a five-year deal with the club.
Jose Mourinho's Man United were also interested according to ESPN but the 23-year-old says he chose Barca because they are the biggest club in the world.
"I chose Barcelona because, for me, they're the biggest club [in the
world] and they play in Spain, which is the best league in the world,"
Lenglet added. "I want to win trophies and I think I am at the best
possible club to do that.
"Of course, I also want to play, because a player that doesn't play
isn't always happy. I am here to learn, to play minutes and to win
titles.
"Like all players, I want to play as much as possible. I know I am at a
big club with a lot of competition in my position but I am going to do
all I can to be on the pitch every game.
"I am ambitious but also respectful. There are really good players here
and I will learn from them on the training ground and in matches -
whether I'm playing or not.
"When you have the opportunity to play in a stadium like this, play the
Champions League, play with [Lionel] Messi, have the option to win the
Champions League... this gives you motivation to sign here."
