On this season's Uefa Champions League crusade
Those feelings will stay for life in light of the fact that our excursion in the Champions League was difficult. We played against Paris Saint-Germain: they were top choices. We played against the reigning champs, Chelsea. We played against last year's finalists, Manchester City. So it demonstrates that we are an excellent group. [All this] shows that we don't surrender, that we have mental strength; that's what a solid group, with the assistance of our allies, can turn what is going on near.
There are youthful players [like Rodrygo, Vinícius Junior or Éder Militão] yet they have previously played 70, 100 matches. Some have played 100 matches, yet here the most youthful pay attention to the most established. We offer guidance and they express out loud whatever they think and that is the way a gathering works. There is no distinction, aside from age, however we as a whole manage everything well together.
On the possibility of breaking Cristiano Ronaldo's record of 17 goals in a solitary Uefa Champions League season
Records will constantly exist, and they are there to be broken. As far as I might be concerned, what makes the biggest difference is to do my absolute best with it on the pitch to assist my group with winning; in the event that I can score or help goals, that is significant, however the main thing is to step on the pitch and dominate the match.
My number one goal this season? They're all around great and significant. The most gorgeous is perhaps the third goal against PSG or the penalty against Manchester City, however the header against Chelsea was great too in light of the fact that it was delightful play.
On the worth of involvement
I think there are something else and more players in this present circumstance, who get endlessly better after they turn 30. I take great consideration of myself, I give a ton of consideration to what I do; I get as much rest as possible, I work harder, I carve out the opportunity to work appropriately, and I think experience makes a difference. That is the reason I feel extraordinary today, both actually and intellectually talking.
At the point when I was 19, 20, I was fixated on football, with being on the pitch. And afterward, gradually, you realize that being on the pitch isn't all that matters. There are a great deal of other significant things around it: eating great, resting soundly, getting sufficient rest, working in the rec center, such countless things that I didn't used to do, as far as I could tell, football was exclusively about what occurred on the pitch.
On the possibility of winning the Uefa Champions League for a fifth time frame with Real Madrid
I'll see whether I've made club history when I finish my football profession. Regardless, all my matches are significant for me. I attempt to experiment each time, to make it energizing for the fans. All things considered, obviously it's my fantasy to win another Champions League. Be that as it may, we must be really good to go and play to win in the final.
