My two daughters were born in Madrid, I won three Champions Leagues and three La Liga titles as well.
Every team dreams of playing the Champions League final - Porto just as much as Real Madrid.
We center backs had to cover a lot of ground, and we had to be very physical with the opposing strikers.
At Madrid we are like one big family. We're all united because we know we have to be, otherwise we're going nowhere.
Everyone's opinions have to be respected. The coach has his, we have ours, the media have theirs.
When I go out on the streets, plenty of people still show that they like me.
If the fans are happy with me it is due to how I perform on the pitch.
They are different footballers. For me, Cristiano has more points in his favour because he heads the ball well, he is stronger and he scores goals. Messi has quality, dribbles and scores goals. For a coach, I think Cristiano is better because he is more complete.
The supporters are always right, but we need our supporters behind us.
I love Real Madrid and their fans.
It's normal that people have a distorted image of Cristiano because the press nowadays focus more on the issues off the pitch. But Cristiano is very professional. He is very focused on his football and he follows the timetable exactly. He is a humble man, despite of all his surroundings. He doesn't lose sight of the fact that he's from Madeira.
Many, many people sent me messages on social media. I couldn't not go. I couldn't turn my back on all this affection that the people had given me. I said I have to go to Besiktas. It's impossible not to go to Besiktas!
When I arrived, I defended Real Madrid tooth and nail.
I'll always say it was football that gave me everything in life - lots of friends, the chance to make my dreams come true.
There is no point changing coach halfway through the year.
Off the pitch, Cristiano is an extremely normal person. When something gets out in the media talking about him... I look and I say: 'This can't be. It's a lie.'
I have always done everything to defend my goal.
When I got here with Real Madrid, the truth is they responded very well. I know that the people like me, they love me, they have a lot of warmth for me. I'm enchanted for that warmth and love they've shown.
My plan is to retire at Real Madrid.
Porto prepared me really well and this didn't go unnoticed in Spain, as before I went to Real Madrid the club were known as a graveyard for centre-backs. They had amazing centre-backs that had failed there.
