When the Champions League is at stake, ... you do everything you can, whether it's called gamesmanship or cheating, to put the opposition off.

The best player I ever played against is Thierry Henry. He was something else; i've played against Rooney and Ronaldo and players like that but i think he was the best player ever to play in the Premier League

For someone to ask 'Who did you play for' and to be able to answer a single name 'Liverpool' that would be brilliant...I don't think I'd ever leave

I think it would be great for football in Britain if Pep Guardiola wins leagues and dominates for a while with the way he likes to play and the players he'll bring in.

Well Xabi is entitled to his opinion our team would never criticise another but we will look to exploit his lack of pace!

Thierry Henry, he was definitely the best. He was just too quick. Oh God, what a player he was. I was so relieved when he went to Barcelona. He used to have everything. You couldn't even kick him, he was big and strong, oh, Jesus, he was a nightmare

To captain Liverpool in any game is special, but to do it in a final, would be one of the proudest moments of my life.
