Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
I still look at myself and want to improve.
I know that, as captain, you are in a privileged position and must always abide by Fifa's code of fair play, something which I have always done throughout my career.
I left United, but my Heart didn't
We didn't play to our potential. In the second half we lost our shape and didn't do what the manager asked us to do.
Rosewood has always been one of my favourite scents, as has the pink grapefruit and pepper we've also put in Homme.
I can't get through some movies without shedding a tear; I can't lie.
I've played under some of the biggest and best managers and achieved almost everything in football. Of course it hurts when people question it, but I've come to the end of my career and can look back and say I've achieved everything with every club that I've played for.
I love a nice tailored suit, but I also like to dress down. It all depends on what mood I'm in.
I remember how inspiring it was to meet players like Bobby Charlton or Bryan Robson when I was a kid. I still remember Clive Allen showing up when I received a trophy for my Sunday league team.
We were all disappointed after the championships and I think we needed this performance. The fans needed it, the players needed it and the manager needed it.
If we win the next two games, we go top of the group, that's all we have to do.
If we win the next two games then, even if we finished in second place in the group, we've got very high points. We need to win, simple as that. That's what's we're here for. We said that before the Wales game we want to get six points out of the two games and that's what we look for.
I think the list is a list of the best managers in football. It's easy to say who you want but getting them is going to be difficult but then again this is Real Madrid.
