“Every year I try to grow as a player and not get stuck in a rut. I try to improve my game in every way possible. But that trait is not something I’ve worked on, it’s part of me.”

There are more important things in life than winning or losing a game.

Something deep in my character allows me to take the hits and get on with trying to win.

Plastic pollution in the ocean is reaching very high levels and only together can we fight to stop this.

A child’s smile is worth more than all the money in the world.

Say more with your feet than you ever could with words.

It is very important that adults talk to children about what is happening in a way that they can understand, using simple and age-appropriate language.

The only way to achieve success is by fighting together.

Success takes sacrifice as well as talent.

Being a bit famous now gives me the opportunity to help people who really need it, especially children.

In football as in watchmaking, talent and elegance mean nothing without rigour and precision.

Three very important points to keep growing. Great team effort.

Together we will keep trying to do great things.

Health must always come first. It is an exceptional moment and we must follow the indications of both health organizations and public authorities.

Together we can change the lives of many children.

Give the opponents more than one reason to stare at your feet.

The harder you work, the harder your rivals have to work to stop you.

I never promise anything. I don’t promise anything to my mum. I don’t promise anything to the supporters.

The best decisions aren’t made with your mind, but with your Instinct.

Together we are the future of football.

There’s no point in making predictions. It’s not worth speculating because nothing is set in stone and things change all the time in football.

I don’t consider myself as the best player in the world. I’m not obsessed with individual titles. I’m much more interested in being part of a team which wins trophies.

Talent is important but it is not the key point.

I always play to win.

I thank God for this joy and I thank you for that beautiful madness that you have in each game !
