To play for Barcelona, means to have an opportunity for a brilliant career. But to reach the top of it, you have to play for Real Madrid.

As a professional football player, I have known perfectly well from the day I started playing that every day I have to fight for my place.

I really did not think much about the size of the transfer fee when I left Barcelona because it was all down to market forces, not me.

Player I would like to sign for Internazionale? It's easy, the strongest in Europe at the moment is Lionel Messi, so I would say him. Messi has amazing qualities, he is the best of all, number one. That is unquestiionable.

I have a fantastic wife, and not only in terms of external beauty. Her priority and mine is our children. That is our choice.

There are some things Ronaldo can do with a football that make me touch my head and wonder how on earth he did it.

I'm star-struck when I see Paul Scholes because you never see him. On the pitch you can't catch him. Off the pitch he disappears.
