When you achieve it, it's a proud moment. You have to live in the moment because you never know when you can win another one.”

Today it's my turn as first captain to hang the flag and the scarf, it's going to be incredible and I've been dreaming about this moment all year. The day has come and it's going to be swarming with madridistas. This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment.”
