Ruben Dias

We just want to win and you have to have the stomach to know that when it doesn't happen, you've just got to keep going.

I am a guy who likes to listen.

The thing I can say about me is that no matter the age, you are either one type of person or not, you are either the winner or not. That's not a matter of age, it's a matter of, 'Are you ready or not?'

It gives me pleasure to make the other team feel powerless.

If not me, then who else will take pride from defending?

I have a lot ambition, I want to win.

People are comparing me to Vincent and I understand why people do it but honestly for me you cannot replace Kompany because of all that he's done.

When I was a kid watching the Premier League was my dream weekend.

To finish the club season with the Champions League, it's all obviously a dream for everybody.

Almost everybody has dreamed of winning the Champions League, I think it's the biggest competition.

The most important thing is to have players who think like you and have the same mentality, knowing how important the team is and knowing: 'If you fail, I will be there for you.'

If you said to me that in your first year in the Premier League you can win the Player of the Year, it would be amazing. But, what I really want in my first year is to win the Premier League. That would be my biggest achievement.

I would consider that being the beauty of the Premier League because you play whoever, and they're just going to try and win it. Obviously, you have different teams, different styles. But in general, every team can win a game. I think that's the beauty of it.

What I know now about this city is the way people breathe football... there is just something else here, something special. Even the grass. The environment. It is different. It goes a bit further in Manchester.

We know that a point is always a point, and it's not the worst scenario. Sometimes it happens.

I love the game and without getting into too much detail, because it is something you will see when I start playing, the most important thing to say is I love to win and that is the thing you most need to know about me.

I am an aggressive player and I love what I do.

To have the opportunity to join a club like Manchester City is fantastic for me and one I couldn't turn down. Their success speaks for itself.

At Benfica and with Portugal we play every game to win.

The Bernabeu is a mad place, but Man City are also a mad team.

I'm a defender. I'm there to defend.

Obviously I speak English well, that was not a major problem for me, but it's always different the confidence you have speaking your own language.

Bernardo is a good man to have in five-a-side. He is very versatile.

If you think too much ahead, you might trap yourself.

My focus has always been on becoming better and doing more but I've never forgotten that, first of all, I'm a defender.

Cristiano, year after year, continues to be at a high level.

I have watched the Premier League for ages and especially when I came, one thing that was in my mind is that whoever wins it, they deserve it. There is no chance of someone winning it that doesn't deserve it. You play against the best; you play to win. You don't play just to not concede. That is the beauty of it.

I don't judge whoever comes in and just goes to the spa and just trains and goes home. If they feel good and feel they can reach their level, do it.

Our defence works the same way every game: a desire to win, a desire to not concede, a desire to make the opponents feel like it is very tough to get to our goal. These things happen with the right mentality.

If you think too much ahead, things get complicated.

Trust is given. Trust is earned.

It's the other team not even making one shot on goal. The thing that gives me the most pleasure is that my keeper doesn't make a save.

When people speak to me, they see the mentality, they see the focus. They see how badly I want to be on top.

That is the spirit, to keep working and to keep wanting it all.

Only at the end can you say where you got to.

Football is not about what you deserve, it is more about what you take.

Sometimes when the result is not the best we need to know if the process was good enough.

Having the talent and having the right mindset together can make you unstoppable.

You can always play good, but to go through in the Champions League, you need something else. I guess that something else is having the details. The details make a big difference in these competitions.

There are loads of things involved with winning a Champions League. It is not an easy competition to win, but we are definitely trying our best to push and push every year.

The Champions League is a big challenge.

Messi is a phenomenal player and as a professional, you want to play against all those sorts of names.

We need to take the good out of everything and if this makes us push even harder individually then we will be just better collectively so we just have to see the good side every time.

For me, whoever plays it is the team that is playing and you play alongside the team, not with names.

It's not a matter of being happy or unhappy, I just need to be there for the team when the team needs me.

There is always room for improvement and there is always something to work for.

The teams that learn better are the teams that grow better.

Obviously, you have World Cups, you have European Championships, but the Champions League, with your club, it's always, always, very special.

Sometimes I dress up to go to the supermarket!
