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.

The Champions League is a big ambition, and all the footballers want to play in it; it is a very important competition.

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

When you train a massive club or little third division outfit, when you go out to play football in any situation, it is always about winning.

But the manager's bought wisely - the players who've come in have taken us on to a different level and the players who won promotion have also performed at the top level, so long may it continue.

Footballers are an easy target. They are offered big lines of credit. Every sport is vulnerable; it's such a big gambling industry, and there are problems with syndicates in other countries.

With good coaching, proper motivation and the right club structure with organic growth, you can achieve an awful lot in football.

You have to consistently be successful to be one of the top players in the world, and everything is possible in life.

The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime.

Every player would love to get to the absolute top, and Real Madrid is it.
