I've said it once: I would love to someday play in La Liga at one of the greats. I see their league each week. It suits my style.
Everyone knows I have a relationship with Barcelona.
People say I should go to Real Madrid or Barcelona, but my team is Las Palmas.
I've always dreamed of managing Real Madrid.
We have to remember, Mourinho worked at Barcelona. He has good memories of Barcelona. The club did well when he was here.
In Europe, I always say that Barcelona and Real Madrid are the ones to look out for.
In Spain, playing beautifully is what counts, even if you lose.
I love watching English football. There are teams in the Premier League that play a style similar to Spanish teams - Arsenal, for example - but in general, it's much quicker; there's so much pace.
English football is very physical, much more so than Spanish football - I felt it in the first match.
I support Real Madrid. I'm a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo.
My time at Real Madrid wasn't a failure. I played 120 matches, I scored 28 goals, and I played an average of 30 games a season. What's more, I won three trophies: La Liga, a Copa del Rey, and a Supercopa de Espana.
There are not many number fives but the best are Busquets, Tiago, Gabi... I also learn a lot from Xabi Alonso. He is also among the top.
Real Madrid? I don't have any nostalgia or bitterness.
In England, footballers are respected more, the game is more noble, there's less cheating. Every Spaniard who goes loves it - and comes back a better player. If I had ever left, it would have been to England.
Barcelona are my favourite team in Spain, let's put it that way.
I think that everyone expects Xavi to be a coach, and he has the profile to be at Barcelona or wherever he is.
Some of the games in Spain... we played at the Wanda, which was amazing, but then the next week, they're creating a penalty spot 10 minutes before the game starts.
The football in Spain is more about skill and technique. Every team tries to play good football. The physical side, with plenty of running and hard tackling, plays more of a role in the Bundesliga.
In England, you might have a possession game of six v. six, and it's like headless chickens: people running around everywhere just trying to keep the ball and be strong in tackles. But in Spain, you always stay in your position. You're still in your shape for every drill.
Everyone's got unfinished business with Barcelona. They're the greatest team in the world.
Barcelona is a fantastic football club, and I don't think there are many players who would be able to say no to them.
I grew up at Real Madrid and played there a long time.
Real Madrid is the most important thing that happened to me, both as a footballer and as a person.
I mean no offence, but we know that the French league is not the same as the Spanish or English league, where there's more difficulty.
The longer you stay in Madrid, the more you realise what this club means to people - not just in the city but also elsewhere in Spain and around the world. No matter where we played, we'd see our fans. No matter whether we played a Clasico or a small cup game, the Bernabeu would be full.
