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.
Always big questions are asked when a club as big as ours has not won anything for one season, never mind three. Not winning anything again looks like it might happen now.
No matter who our opponents are, or who we are playing against, we want to win the game.
I love football and I love winning, and when things aren't going right I get annoyed.
One thing will not change - we will be going out to win.
Winning the Spanish league is a key objective, as well as the Champions League,
If it all ended tomorrow, I would hope that people would write about captaining England 50 times, the 86 caps, winning the European Cup, six Premiership titles, two FA Cups, ... So many goals and games for United. And, hopefully, there is still a trophy with England and Madrid.
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.
Every one of our players respects every one of their players and their team as a whole. But once we cross that white line most of the respect will be out the window and we will be fighting to win the game.
Everybody is proud of what the cricketers have done in the last month. It's been incredible. We send our best wishes to the cricketers.
On being put out of the World Cup: That was the past, this is the future.
It's not all about me. I've got to lead as a captain and I'll try my best as always -- but so will all the players.
I'm not complaining, but of course it's tough. It's tough on any family.
I'm pleased with my personal performance but particularly with the way the team played overall.
