We are back to being the old Real Madrid. If we keep playing like this then I'm sure we'll win something.
It's simple. If we want to have our destiny in our own hands, we need to win our four matches.
We looked better in the second half (against England) when Thierry was moving out to the wing more,
It doesn't matter how many times you win an award, it is always very special.
You can't get bored of winning. You can win 10 games in a row but you keep the same will to snatch the 11th. You always need more.
It was an exceptional game, like we had in 2000 with Portugal and Italy, ... In these two matches we managed to reverse the trend, and we did it again.

I have won many awards and I am very happy about this, but I am not the best player in the world.
