In a way, I'm probably immortal.

Reputations do not win matches and trophies, only goals can do that

No one player is as good as the sum of a team

I chose Real Madrid instead of Barcelona because I'm a winner, not a loser

Scoring goals is like making love: everyone can do it, but nobody does it like me.

Football is simple but the hardest thing to do is play simple football.

Every advantage has its disadvantage.

Without the ball, you can't win.

I don't want to be a thief of my own wallet.

I always threw the ball in, because then if I got the ball back, I was the only player unmarked.

Footballers from the street are more important than trained coaches.

To win you have to score one more goal than your opponent

I don't make a lot of mistakes, because it's hard for me to be wrong

There is only one ball, so you need to have it.

Sometimes something's got to happen before something is going to happen.

Italians can't win the game against you, but you can lose the game against the Italians.

Before I make a mistake, I don't make that mistake.

If I wanted you to understand it, I would have explained it better.

Choose the best player for every position, and you'll end up not with a strong XI, but with 11 strong 1's.
