I think the most important goal I scored in Spain was the first one because people were wary about me coming over to Spain as a player - they thought I was just there to sell shirts.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I scored my first goal with the national team against France.
The certainty that our football, the football of Spain, is recognised, that's very important to us - perhaps more important than the successes and the joy that you can create. Football hasn't always been appreciated, and luckily our football is appreciated now, at all levels of society.
Real Madrid is the most important thing that happened to me, both as a footballer and as a person.
It's important to score some goals and make the decisive pass for my club.
I think the greatest goal I've ever scored is the one against Liverpool. It was amazing for me, and it really made my name in the Manchester team.
Scoring goals is the best feeling you can have. I always look up at the stand for my family straight afterwards; it means everything to me that they travel to every game.
I wasn't good enough to be a professional soccer player obviously but that was my first goal in life.
I even scored Monaco's goal too. Please, put it down as an own goal for me!
I was the classic midfield organiser who could also score goals.
My best has to be for Barcelona against Villarreal in 2006 - that is the one I am asked most about, and it is the one I am most proud of. Xavi chipped the ball to me, I chested it down, twisted and hit an overhead kick. It was the final goal in a 4-0 win.
