The Champions League is the competition everyone wants to be in.

I would love to win the Champions League once again. Winning big trophies like the Champions League or the World Cup is usually making people think, 'The players are not hungry any more.' Still, that's not what I feel.

The Champions League is the one thing missing from my career. When I look at the history of the competition and the people that have taken part, the top, top players have all won it. For many, it is why they have been regarded as top players.

You need to have a big squad; it's important when you're in the Champions League, with the amount of games we've got.

When you have the chance to play a Champions League final, you have to win it.

Every footballer wants to play forever. And if you are going to keep on playing - to enjoy it to the full - you want to win games, and as a result, trophies.

It doesn't matter if it is the League Cup, the FA Cup, or the Europa League. We want to do our best to try and win them all.

The Premier League is very difficult football and very different to when you play in Europe, but the player has to have experience to adapt, and this is the key point.

I've seen teams spend £150 million and get nowhere near the Champions League. It has taken Manchester City a billion to get there. There are no guarantees.

There is always going to be competition. When you play for a top club, you're going to attract top players. It's part and parcel of football.
