To play in atmospheres that are intense is when I play my best football.

I want to be the strongest player in the world and score a lot of goals. To do that, I have to improve in every area.

I can win the Ballon d'Or, but only if Messi's level drops a bit. It will be very complicated to do so if he keeps up his current form. I really believe I can win the award, but there's not much I can do if Messi maintains this level.

I don't follow politics; it doesn't interest me. So why should I vote?

When people talk about my business, my life, I'm really private. Maybe someone thinks I'm arrogant or something, but it's just me.

It surprises me how much children like me, you know? If they look at me as an example, I have a big responsibility.

Yes, I think I am a genius, but not a rebel.
