We've lived through some extraordinary moments, and the saddest moments as well. We have to learn.

I was just a kid who had arrived in the world of professional football and thought he could do anything he wanted. But I have learned from my mistakes. I have done everything to change, both on and off the pitch.

On a personal level, I have no hard feelings towards the clubs that didn't want me.

The Ballon d'Or is one of my objectives, but it will be complicated so long as Ronaldo and Messi are around.

I do not feel like I am on par with Messi and Ronaldo yet. I need to win trophies to match them. I try to help my team and country as good as possible to do just that.
