We lost because we didn't win.
I never thought about draw or lose before each game. I always think about winning the match, whatever the color of my shirt. I play by instinct, and my instinct is to goal. I will not do any other things that not related to it.
I'm sure that I'm a winner person. I'm sure that I win more than lose.
I know If I score we're going to win the match.
I've always dreamed to win the Champions League with Real Madrid and we are only one step away to win it
I want to consistently play well and win titles. I'm only at the beginning.
I'm no longer thinking of Madrid. That dream is dead. The only thing I dream about now is Manchester United and winning the Champions League again in Rome.
I'm always trying to be the best, on and off the pitch, is also very important. I've always taken things very seriously, since I was very young, and that's reflected in my career. Always being nominated, winning trophies for the club or individual awards, that's the culmination of many years of dedication, hard work and professionalism and that makes me very happy.
I have a few tricks and dribbles which I use a lot and when I am playing well, it is natural that they become easier. But the tricks I use are the ones that will hopefully benefit the team. What I do as an individual player is only important if it helps the team to win. That is the most important thing.
Manchester United is still in my heart. Disappointed they didn't win the title but they are still the kings of Premier League.
When I win awards, I think of my father.
I don't consider myself as the best player in the world. I'm not obsessed with individual titles. I'm much more interested in being part of a team which wins trophies.
What I do as an individual player is only important if it helps the team to win. That is the most important thing.
The high point of my career was winning the Champions League. No one will ever erase that from my memory, in the same way that no one will ever erase the fact that I did it in a Manchester United shirt.
