We are well aware of the task ahead of us in what will be a very difficult match but which we all dream of playing.

I don't know if we are the best team in the world. I am lucky to be playing alongside some of the best players around. It's a dream.

Scholes is undoubtedly the best midfielder of his generation.

The only important thing I have to say is that my father never fought against his country.

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.

Ronaldinho is total class - a very, very great player. He is quick, powerful, and has extraordinary technical qualities. He is a dribbler but is also a player who can make the play for his teammates. He's not really a No.10, a true organizer. He's more a second attacker who can score goals and has the vision to make them.

It's the first time it's happened to me and maybe the last. It's a strange sensation, not normal for me. I can't remember scoring three goals, even when I was a kid.
