It's normal that people have a distorted image of Cristiano because the press nowadays focus more on the issues off the pitch. But Cristiano is very professional. He is very focused on his football and he follows the timetable exactly. He is a humble man, despite of all his surroundings. He doesn't lose sight of the fact that he's from Madeira.

At Madrid we are like one big family. We're all united because we know we have to be, otherwise we're going nowhere.

I am a man who always likes to win and to defend the shirt of Real Madrid till the very end.

Every team dreams of playing the Champions League final - Porto just as much as Real Madrid.

Is there a team in the world that would not be stronger with Cristiano Ronaldo? I don't think so.

Off the pitch, Cristiano is an extremely normal person. When something gets out in the media talking about him... I look and I say: 'This can't be. It's a lie.'

In Turkey people really love sport, they only think about football.

We center backs had to cover a lot of ground, and we had to be very physical with the opposing strikers.

I am very proud of my years spent at this club, giving it my heart and soul. I finished my time at Real Madrid giving it all I had.
