That's the level we have to perform to, especially against the team we are playing. We need a standard that's very, very high.
Join in -- give the English pains in their legs on June 17 against Switzerland,
I'd love him to be playing against us, because he is one of my closest friends and because he is a great player - and you want to play against the best.
We can take a lot from that game, to play against one of the best teams in the world and we've outplayed them for 90 minutes, ... They've scored two goals in the last two minutes of extra time. We had a lot of young lads out there who played as if they had been around for a long time.
It's important to find different formations because you come up against different teams, especially when you have players out or injured,
We grew up together so it was nice to lead our countries against one another,
Playing against some of the best defenders in the world, he ran away from a couple and held off a couple and that's not easy to do,
He was involved in a lot of things when he came on as he was against Argentina in November.
I like playing in Madrid and Spain. I live in this city and although we haven't yet talked about renewing my contract, after the Champions League matches against Arsenal we will talk.
We will support the manager until he leaves at the end of the tournament. That's clear for the players.

The squad had a get together yesterday just with the players, and it felt like being part of a club side,
I still don't know if I will play, because it still hurts.
I've been waiting for this moment for three years. From the start I wanted to wear Real Madrid's shirt in England. There's a special aura about being a Real Madrid player and I want to show it in England. To play in London, where I was born, is going to be very special.
