"I don't have many friends in football. I live for football."

"I am the best player in history, in the good moments and the bad moments. I respect everyone's preferences, but I don't see anyone better than me."

"I'm not a fake person. I'm real. I'm a real person."

"I'm the only one who has five Champions Leagues, five Ballon d'Ors, five… everything."

"I don't need a holiday, I need to play."
