Cristiano Ronaldo

I have two Golden Boot awards at home. It would be nice to win another, but I wouldn't mind it if I didn't.

At United, there are great traditions, which you can't buy in one or two years. They are created by victories. You need to prove again and again that you are better than the others. Manchester United have always done this, and are still doing it, so they are the best.

At Real, psychological pressure on the players is much more serious than at United. This is good. At many clubs, you don't know the consequence of playing badly.

I have practically no private life. I'm already used to this and ready for it. Yes, sometimes it is hard, but it is the choice I made.

People have to understand one thing: at the age of 18, I arrived at a dream club like Manchester United. It was a dream come true. But, even at that moment, I was thinking about playing in England for some years and then going to play in Spain. Even at that time I was thinking that way, and I always gave 100% everything.

In football, I don't have a lot of friends. The people who I really trust, there are not many... Most of the time, I'm alone.

I know I'm a good professional, I know that no one's harder on me than myself and that's never going to change, under any circumstances.

I am not the humblest person in the world. I admit that.

When you are nominated for the best player in Europe, the Ballon d'Or, playing in the Champions League, there is so much pressure. You don't know what will happen. This pressure is inside you - you always have it.

Lots of young players have triumphed at United, so why can't it happen to me? I'm not worried I'm young - it's an incentive to do the best I can.

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

I love Manchester. Everyone knows that - I have said it many times. Manchester is in my heart.

I'm aware that, whatever the circumstances, there will always be speculation about me.

My friends ask me if I want more kids, and I always say yes, I want more; it's the best thing you can have in your life.

I'm proud to play for Real Madrid because I have fun; when you no longer have fun it's a sign that it's time to leave. For now though, I'm happy here at the greatest club in the world.

I was ironing my own clothes when I was 11 years old. My mental strength goes back to those days.

To me, being the best means proving it in different countries and championships.

I still learn, but I think it's the best thing in life to have a kid.

I have my flaws too, but I am a professional who doesn't like to miss or lose.

I was saluted by Alex Ferguson when I was subbed and that made me very happy.
