Out of everyone at Manchester United, I would pick out Scholes, he is the best midfielder of his generation. I would had loved to play alongside him.

I strive to live with passion and not to be desensitised to life. Things matter to me. You’ve got to live like that. Otherwise what’s the point? It’s not possible to please everyone and there is no point in trying to be what other people think you should be. For me, it’s important to be who I am, not just to be different but to be as authentic as I can be.

Neuer is one of the best goalkeepers in history.

If you train badly, you play badly. If you work like a beast in training, you play the same way.

Iniesta doesn't dye his hair, he doesn't wear earrings and he hasn't got any tattoos. Maybe that makes him unattractive to the media but he is the best.

I will forgive if the players cannot get it right, but not if they do not try hard.

There is no defence that can stop Messi. It is impossible.
