Every team dreams of playing the Champions League final - Porto just as much as Real Madrid.Collection: Dreams
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.Collection: Chance
One of the values of a human being is to be honest and admit at times knowing when to apologize.
We face each game with great importance but we have a strong desire to win.
At Real Madrid it is difficult to be defensive and this is my main priority.
Criticism makes us grow.
Following Real Madrid, I support Porto.
The people can say what they want, but fact remains that Neymar has been booked more often than me.
I spent 10 wonderful years at Real Madrid.
My two daughters were born in Madrid, I won three Champions Leagues and three La Liga titles as well.
I love Real Madrid and their fans.
I have always done everything to defend my goal.
It's a privilege for us, Portugal, to have a player like Cristiano Ronaldo.
Is there a team in the world that would not be stronger with Cristiano Ronaldo? I don't think so.
Which player does not want to win? A player who doesn't want to win, it's better not to be with us.
My plan is to retire at Real Madrid.
Juventus are one of Europe's and Italy's big teams.
I'll always say it was football that gave me everything in life - lots of friends, the chance to make my dreams come true.
Porto improve every single player because this is a very demanding club.
Porto prepared me really well and this didn't go unnoticed in Spain, as before I went to Real Madrid the club were known as a graveyard for centre-backs. They had amazing centre-backs that had failed there.
The Besiktas fans are very passionate. When you go out onto the pitch the noise coming from the stands always hits you.
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.
In Turkey people really love sport, they only think about football.
Turkish people live football. Football is a passion of theirs. They demonstrate it with love and affection for their team.
I'm a person who fought for what I have.
People talk without knowing the real Cristiano. He's a normal person with normal habits like us. He likes his relatives. He loves his sons. He stresses the importance of being a father which I think is important. He's does this perfectly and naturally.
I won't sit back and hope that everything comes to me. No, I will continue to fight to achieve more and more.
I give my body and soul to defend this club and for all the fans who come to see us. I have never thought about leaving. I really like being at Madrid, the fans like me and I like them.
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.
There is no point changing coach halfway through the year.
If there is a magic stadium in Europe, then it is the Bernabeu.
Three goals in 90 minutes is possible, there is no doubt about it.
Pele and Maradona won games but they had the help of their team-mates.
When I go out on the streets, plenty of people still show that they like me.
What Zidane has done with Real Madrid is spectacular, but there are things I don't understand.
I love playing for Mourinho. He is honest and sticks to his guns.
I do not like to lose, which is why I try my hardest when I play.
If the fans are happy with me it is due to how I perform on the pitch.
I fight for every ball as if it was the last.
I really like Gaitan. He has a lot of creativity and has the quality to play for a club like Real Madrid.
We need to work with great humility.
Cristiano is just one more player who is always motivated.
It's down to us to play, do our job and honour the shirt that we pull on, so as to ensure we send the fans away happy.
We're professionals, we have to deal with criticism. We get talked about a lot but we have to focus on doing our job well.
Everyone's opinions have to be respected. The coach has his, we have ours, the media have theirs.
Little by little I want to become more free and start going forward but I know that the first thing I have to do is defend.
The supporters are always right, but we need our supporters behind us.
We have always felt the support of the Portuguese people. We are a small country, but with many qualities.
Many, many people sent me messages on social media. I couldn't not go. I couldn't turn my back on all this affection that the people had given me. I said I have to go to Besiktas. It's impossible not to go to Besiktas!
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.'
