In Spain you fight, of course, against Real Madrid and Barcelona, and they almost never lose because they have the biggest squads, and they are two of the biggest clubs in the world. So it's really difficult.

When you work with Mourinho, you have to know that the group, the collective is above the individual.

He always scores the opening goal. Because it is one thing to score 30 goals with hat-tricks in easy wins, and another that 20 of those 30 goals are enough to win 1-0. Nobody does that as well as Diego Costa.

It's true I wasn't as important at Chelsea. I never demanded that. What I wanted was to be a champion, because few people get that. I succeeded. But the happiness wasn't there.

If you give Messi a metre, he'll snatch the ball and leave you behind.

Many players enter the pitch just to change shirts, but I don't.

I hope I can retire at Atletico Madrid.

At Atleti, you get to be at a club which is growing all the time. I don't believe there is any better club.

Wherever Mourinho goes, he is a champion.

In the Premier League the big clubs can lose and drop points. Games that are supposed to be easy are never easy.

Everyone wants to play. If you don't, normally you're not happy.

I was delighted when I found out that Atletico wanted to take me back. It's the best thing that could have happened to me.

When I arrived at Chelsea, I had got used to playing 50 games, and suddenly, I was sharing my position with another player.

When you're not playing, sometimes you're not full of confidence.

It's not easy playing against Barcelona in the Champions League. They are a club with a lot of history.

With regards to the fans, whenever I've played in the Atletico shirt, I have given all that I can. I think I will win the fans back on the field and not with words.

The Ballon d'Or is a subjective matter.

I admire Messi: he's never complained to me in any game we played, but I've also never asked him for his jersey and never would. I came to win, not to say I played against Messi.

A footballer's career is very short, and I want to finish it in a strong and spectacular way.

I have always liked Chelsea a lot. I watch a lot of the Premier League, and it is a club where you can feel the warmth of the fans.

I watch a lot of movies, and sometimes I watch the same ones a lot of times, so you get to learn a lot of words that way.

In one year I won two titles - one being the Premier League. I have a trophy at home that not many people have and in possibly the most competitive league in the world.

When Atletico tried to buy me back, I did everything I could to make it possible. I had offers from clubs in France and Italy, but I would not have left Chelsea for any other side - only for Atletico Madrid.

I consider my time with Chelsea a personal triumph.

Playing with Coutinho is easy. He's a very quick player who dribbles well. He knows how to play out wide, and my job is not just to go past and help him: it's also to give the greatest number of passes to him in space around the opposition right-back.
