Messi is the best in the world. Cristiano is a goalscorer. Messi is more taltented, more complete, tactically and footballwise. Cristiano isn't doing those runs anymore like at United. Messi takes more part in the game, I'd always prefer him in my team.

You have to fight for your dream, but you also have to feel fortunate for what you have.

I am really proud to HAVE been an Arsenal player.

I think you have to be grateful to those who have helped you.

If I ever wear a Chelsea shirt, you have permission to kill me.

Best defender I have played against? Carles Puyol

I want to play for Arsenal. When you see football all around the world you see very few teams who play the way that we play. I just enjoy it. I feel it is my home now.
