I think of Milan every day, really. I was really happy at Milanello. I love the team, the staff, everybody who works there. I love the fans. I miss Milan badly, I miss Italy. I don't miss a single [Milan] game, and I don't understand those that say that Calcio is in difficulty. It's so competitive and complete.

My new tattoo is Jesus being carried by three cherubs. Obviously the cherubs are my boys. At some point they are going to need to look after me. That's what they're doing in the picture. It means a lot.

Maths is totally done differently to what I was teached when I was at school.

Joining Real Madrid is a dream come true.

Pelé was a complete player. I didn't see him live obviously, because I wasn't born.

[Meeting Mandela] was the highlight of my career; to meet such a great man and a strong man and such a passionate man about sport and life will always stay with me.

I always wanted kids I could take to work, and for them to experience the things I experience. So, having three boys as a footballer was a dream.
