Between 12 and 14, I shot up a ridiculous amount. The muscles were struggling to stretch and grow at the rate my bones were growing. It gave me problems with my back and my hamstrings.

Every kid's dream is to play in the Champions League and to win it. To actually have achieved that was an amazing feeling.

Hello, it's a dream for me to play for Real Madrid. Thank you for the great welcome. Go Madrid!

I don't go out, so I don't get attention from girls. They're not going to have posters of me on their walls. I just try to get on with my life.

When I was younger, I had some close friends who always loved European football, and Real Madrid at that time were the dominant force. I remember family holidays when we used to go to Spain, and we'd bring back replica shirts of Real Madrid and pretend to be the players when we played in the park.

When you play in the Premier League, say you're playing against a lower-end team, they set up to defend all the time, they set up to block you off. But when you play in the Champions League, all the other teams are used to winning every week, so it's more of an open game, it's more attacking, end-to-end.
