When I got here with Real Madrid, the truth is they responded very well. I know that the people like me, they love me, they have a lot of warmth for me. I'm enchanted for that warmth and love they've shown.

If there is a magic stadium in Europe, then it is the Bernabeu.

My two daughters were born in Madrid, I won three Champions Leagues and three La Liga titles as well.

I'll always say it was football that gave me everything in life - lots of friends, the chance to make my dreams come true.

They are different footballers. For me, Cristiano has more points in his favour because he heads the ball well, he is stronger and he scores goals. Messi has quality, dribbles and scores goals. For a coach, I think Cristiano is better because he is more complete.

I have two Portuguese league titles behind me, and although the Spanish league is different I am going to do my best.

Real Madrid are an exemplary club. I would never have had the chance to play for this club for such a long period had I really been such a crazy, violent player.

Perhaps Real Madrid fans won't like me saying this but they say Real Madrid fans transmit enthusiasm but I don't think they do. That's not the reality.

I have always done everything to defend my goal.

When I arrived, I defended Real Madrid tooth and nail.

Cristiano is happy at Real Madrid and focused on helping the team.

Carlos Tevez is a quality player. He fights for every loose ball. He loves retrieving it. He's a fighter on the pitch.

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.

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

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

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.'

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

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

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

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

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.

I want to feel the team is playing like I want. If not, why am I here?

I think all managers have to be so demanding.

Manchester City has a really good academy, and they're winning titles at all ages.
