I love Madrid. I am happy to be here. I have been here three years and hope to be here longer. But I am proud of where I come from and never forget the people I grew up with.

If Giggs was French, Pires or myself would have been on the bench.

We were a family who had come from nothing and now we had respect from French people of all sorts.

Obviously fashion is a completely different world from football.

Real Madrid is the most important thing that happened to me, both as a footballer and as a person.

Everything Iniesta does impresses me. He could even play as goalkeeper. He's magical.

It doesn't matter how many times you win an award, it is always very special.
