Quotes

“I cannot say who is better between Messi and Ronaldo. Because they are different players. Both are superstars.”

“When I was a young player, I never dreamed of scoring five goals in a game – and in nine minutes is something else. And when it happened, it was incredible that there could ever be anything like that in the history of the game. It took me a couple of days to realise what I’d done.”

“I motivate myself by the desire to win more trophies.”

“I want to be a better player, and there is no other way of showing it other than on the pitch. It is not a question of which team I play for.”

“I don’t read articles about myself. I try to distance myself from it. Reading about yourself is nice, but in the long run, it doesn’t help. Concentration has to be in the right place.”

“Cows’ milk and soya milk isn’t good for me. Almond milk and rice milk is OK. I don’t really drink alcohol, either. Maybe wine but only sometimes.”

“Bayern is one of the best teams in the world – on a par with Real Madrid and Barcelona. A move to Barca or Real wouldn’t have been a step up for me.”
