“There's little place for sympathy in football.”
“When you touch the ball 400 times per game, it's normal that you can lose the ball a couple of times.”
“Guardiola and I have the same idea of football.”
“I've always liked big challenges in football and playing against the best.”
“At Real Madrid, you have to win everything.”
“Ancelotti is internationally oriented and speaks English. Why would he not be successful with a club like Bayern? He would be a good fit for a Bundesliga side.”
“A lot of clubs want to win the Champions League.”
“I am very proud to be at Madrid. It's something very special, and also to step out into the Bernabeu wearing the Madrid shirt for the first time was a fantastic feeling. The fans gave me a wonderful reception.”
“We're Real Madrid - and being successful is part of our DNA.”
“My biggest aim of all is to win trophies with Real Madrid.”
“I can't comment on every article in the newspapers.”
“I celebrated great successes alongside exceptional players like Philipp Lahm, Thomas Mueller, Manuel Neuer, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Miroslav Klose, Luca Toni, and Franck Ribery.”
“For those of us playing in a foreign league, it's always nice to spend a few days with family and friends who we don't get to see every day.”
“I always think about my future. That's part of my job.”
“Bayern exists only to win, but to win in style, too. Winning 2-1 is not enough. We have to win 5-0.”
“I do not forecast playing until 38 or 39.”
“My decision was to go abroad, especially after winning the World Cup, and to go to Madrid was perfect. I was 100 per cent convinced of it.”
“Coaches are always important for players.”
“Whether I play five or 10 metres forward or back does not change my way of playing, to be on the ball a lot.”
“Training with Guardiola is good. He's always talking to each player, trying to give them a vision of the style of football he wants to play.”
