I want to thank all the people at Tottenham. I had four great years there, and I enjoyed every moment. I want to thank everyone who made my life enjoyable in London.

The most important thing is how the season ends.

I have met him a few times. What can I say - Maradona is one of the best players in football history.

I've seen a great deal of hardship in my life.

I would change all my individual trophies for that trophy of World Cup champion.

It's an honor to be at the biggest club in the world.

I had great relationships with all the four coaches I played under at Real Madrid. They all helped me improve, but if I had to pick the best, I would pick Ancelotti.

Spurs will always have a place in my heart.

When I came to England, I was dreaming about winning titles.

I have a good relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, and we'll have good relationship in the future, too.

Individual awards are important, but I am not obsessed with them.

I knew sooner or later I would show my quality and show to everyone why I'm here, why Real made such an effort to bring me here.

I never considered leaving Real Madrid or that it was a mistake to come here.

Two goals away from home is very good.

Mourinho asks me to play as I did with Tottenham, but at a higher level.

Spanish League is very tough, especially away matches.

My favourite position is as midfielder, playing with Xabi and Khedira.

Santiago Bernabeu is the best stadium I have ever played in. I enjoy every minute on its pitch.

I want to be able to help the coach and team as much as I can.

In Madrid, the demand is maximum, and you have to always be at the top. If you are not, doubts come.

I think everybody respects Real Madrid; nobody wants to play against us.

I have great memories of Tottenham. I spent four great years there with a lot of emotions, with a lot of love from the club and the fans.

I enjoyed every moment with Tottenham. But in one moment, you feel you need to take a step forward, to go to a higher level.

For me, the team is always more important.
