It was lovely to receive the affection from some of the supporters of our biggest rival, ... It doesn't happen to you very often in your career.

The toughest opponents for me are the defenders who are tough in the way they play - where you can't see a way through.

Football is about joy. It's about dribbling. I favour every idea that makes the game beautiful. Every good idea has to last.

My best has to be for Barcelona against Villarreal in 2006 - that is the one I am asked most about, and it is the one I am most proud of. Xavi chipped the ball to me, I chested it down, twisted and hit an overhead kick. It was the final goal in a 4-0 win.

I feel very privileged to be asked to be featured in another FIFA Soccer release, ... The game gives me the opportunity to play the matches I want to play every day of the week -- even while away from the field.

Paolo Maldini and John Terry are two of the toughest men I have met on the field.
