Thierry Henry is playing just phenomenally at the moment. And with a team like that we're really going to have to play to counter a score like this in London.
Even though we haven't won anything on the pitch I love playing football here. Playing for Real Madrid is an honor. I want to win something and I don't want to leave without winning something.
At some stage, playing in America is possible. For me, America is so passionate and I would like to be a part of that. I have one year left at Real, and maybe two more after that, but things can change in football and the American league does interest me.
To be honest I want to sort my contract out anyway whether Eriksson comes or whether he doesn't, whoever comes. I've said I want to stay in Madrid and I want to stay playing here.
We had a meeting with the manager but that happens all the time - if the manager decides he wants a meeting with players to discuss formations or ways of playing then we'll have a meeting,
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.
I want to carry on playing for England as long as I can and if that means playing after the World Cup then great.
As a person he is incredible, as a player he's better. Roy Keane brings a lot more to a team than just playing on the pitch.
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,
I love playing for Real Madrid, I love Spain and the fans have been incredible but what I get over there I've not had anywhere else in the world.
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.
I've seen his mother talk on the TV and and I think he's got strong parents behind him, and that's what you need when you start out as a sportsman.
The squad had a get together yesterday just with the players, and it felt like being part of a club side,
