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.
The squad had a get together yesterday just with the players, and it felt like being part of a club side,
People don't think I've got the brains to be that clever.
People go on about my foul on Simeone and the red card but I'd obviously rather people talk about me scoring the penalty four years later,
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.
I've set high standards and ...I don't think I had a terrible championship but I can play a lot better,
I've been around a long, long time, and it's hard for things to change overnight. It's going to take a few years.
I want, and I'm convinced that I will, end my career at Real Madrid. In football you can never tell what's going to happen, but I still think that I've got a lot to give as a player and I would like to continue at one of the best clubs in the world - Real Madrid. I want to stay here for many more years, for as long as Real Madrid want me to stay.
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.
This happens all the time ... this 'player power' thing comes up all the time (in the media). I think a little bit more respect should be shown to the manager,
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.
There was just a bit of pain. Being cautious, I came off, but it will be OK.
There will always be big questions asked of a team as big as us.
There was the normal booing when I took corners but that's what the fans are there for - to give the opposition stick. It's nice when you're 1-0 up, you can smile - and you get a few smiles back sometimes
