Two years ago I said that the best player I played against was Maradona and the best player I have played with was Bestie. But I can now say I have never seen a player as good as Messi.

We've got the Portuguese boys who have won a few things and the rest of us who are hungry for a taste of it. It's the right combination to win things. I think we are quite popular at the moment because people like to see a new team coming through, but maybe our aim is to be hated because we keep on winning.
