It's part of my game to occasionally send a message, one that may be unpopular to the outside world, but can be important for the team.

I was so obsessed with football that you could say I was taking the goal home with me at night. And then one day the system fell apart.

Goalkeepers need an element of insanity.

Messi is undoubtedly a gifted footballer, like Maradona and Pele, and he's playing for the best club side in the world at the moment. He's successful and he's winning trophies, so it's only logical that he'll be voted the best player in the world.

If we perform as a unit and if every single player gives it his very best, everything can happen.

It looked pretty wild, but I was actually in control of myself. I've never really injured anyone throughout my career.

I have always seen myself as an athlete. Of course, I made the mistake of unintentionally opening the door to my private life by just a crack. I wouldn't do the same thing again. It has to be accepted that my private life is private, and if that isn't the case, I have to do something about it.
