Two of my boys are Manchester United fans; one is an Arsenal fan. Whenever there is a game I can take the boys to, I love taking them.

I don't think I'm really in a situation to complain, because I consider myself to be privileged to be doing what I do.

I'm a strong person, I'm a strong family man, I'm a strong husband and a strong father.

Like any parent, I just want the best for my kids, whatever they decide to do. They will choose what path they want to follow, and we will always be there to encourage them.

I knew it was my time to retire, when I saw Messi running past me.

Throughout my career I have been pretty successful, I've played for some pretty big teams, represented my country quite a few times, and played for managers without sentiment.

Joining Real Madrid is a dream come true.
