We know that you can only achieve certain targets by working.

In the face of a big offer, no player is not for sale.

Mario Balotelli is undoubtedly the greatest talent of Italian football.

Playing Bayern is never easy.

When a team wins it's because many things fall into place.

Buffon, for us, is the captain. He is the player with the most experience and we are lucky to have the man who I believe is the best goalkeeper of all time defending our goal. We always try to make sure that he has to make very few saves, but it is extremely reassuring having him in goal.

Andrea Pirlo is football, he is a fantastic and sensational footballer.

When I don't feel that I'm good enough, I put myself in a corner.

Us players are supposed to dish it out for 90 minutes.

Going up against a great champion like Cavani, giving each other hell for 90 minutes, then being able to walk off as opponents who respect one another is the beauty of sport.

Pogba was our Usain Bolt - he allowed us to play in a certain way.

When I was young, we used to do drills to get a feel for the man you were marking.

Gigi is a leader during the big moments in any season, on the pitch and off it. Everyone, whether they're a team-mate or an opponent, says he makes the difficult things look easy.

Gigi is an extrovert. He's always smiling and there are no airs and graces about him. He's always a role model for his team-mates, both young and old alike.

Knowing your opponent is fundamental. Because then you can know their characteristics better.

I believe the most important thing for the defender is to take the ball away from the opposing team, no matter what, and not to allow any space or give any occasions for opponents to score goals.

I don't think my determination has ever put me into trouble because of this, in fact, I think it is one of my main strengths and makes me the player that I am - without it I wouldn't be the same.

I like English football so much - it is very strong.

The most important thing when deciding on a club are the traditions of the team and the project of the club - what it is they want to do in the future.

Juve are my side. I think and I hope to close my career here.

To get past a rival you have to be smart.

Only a fool would think the league was already won after just ten games.

We want to keep developing, keep getting better and keep winning.

Juventus is growing, year after year, and we need a champion like Cristiano.

I hope that the fans know that we always show heart.

In a Champions League final you have to do your basics well but also be able to go above and beyond.

We don't want to make the same mistakes twice, though I tend to take the positives from past experiences, even unhappy ones.

Cristiano was an example for everyone, with his dedication to work.

There are maybe four or five teams who will pay whatever they need to pay to get the player. They are huge sums, but that is the world we now live in - when one of those four or five teams want a player, then they usually get them.

As professional footballers, we are in a fortunate position compared to much of society. I think it's important we keep this in mind and try to support those less lucky than us where we can.

I do not know if we play the most beautiful or attractive football, but we certainly play more intelligently, more functionally and more precisely than anyone else.

I always say that Juventus should be judged in March and you can see why. We have found a system that gets the best out of the quality we have in the squad and ticks all the boxes.

Juventus versus Milan is always a classic.

I think that Mbappe is better than Neymar because he's more consistent.

I would like to have a managerial career as a director.

Playing as captain of Juve and the national team, with 500 games for Juve and 100 for the national team, it gives you a different serenity.

It is nice to pick a squad or train players for 30 minutes, but I do not like the life of a coach.

A footballer isn't a devil or a saint.

Weaknesses are part of human nature. What matters are the consequences they can have on a squad.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to know Paolo Montero that well. He was someone else who lived like a king at night.

I respect Koulibaly a lot and we got to talk to each other, to understand what kind of person he is.

Suarez and I are similar and I like facing strikers like him.

Have I ever hated anyone? Higuain - but he surprised me after getting to know him. No. 9s are selfish, they do a different job, but he has a generous, playful side. He's a demanding guy because you have to be pamper him, motivate him. He needs affection to feed the incredible potential he has.

When you meet someone who gives you good advice for your own, you must have the humility to listen.

Sergio Ramos is the best defender in the world, but it's not just me saying this.

If you want to go all the way in the Champions League, you're always going to face Barcelona, Real and Bayern Munich in rotation.

It's not easy to change the way you play when you are 30.

Thinking of stopping Kane one-on-one, just me, is not going to happen.

I have always liked to play against the great ones.

Ibra is the best. He has always made a difference wherever he has gone.
