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

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

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

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

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

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

To get past a rival you have to be smart.

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

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.

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

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Playing Bayern is never easy.
