I went to the final of the Champions League, and I scored 32 goals. This pressure does not weigh too much. I'm on the field to have fun and give pleasure to the fans.
During my time at Juve, I didn't score more than 20 goals a year, but I won every title except the Champions League. I've scored 15 or 16 goals, and I've lifted titles, and other strikers have scored 35 and haven't won anything.
To be honest, I was never expecting to be in a World Cup final, a Euro final, a Champions League final, a Europa League final. I've done much more than I dreamt, and that's incredible.
I've scored quite a few times in Europe, but scoring in the Champions League final is something special.
I don't think a lot of players reach a Champions League final. If you look at how many goalkeepers in the league reach a Champions League final, I don't know.
I had a lot of pressure in my career: when you play at World Cup or Champions League final, there is pressure on your shoulders.
But I think the Champions League Final puts a massive pressure on every player and the manager, but we're enjoying the pressure and hopefully we can go there and win it.
Both were wonderful experiences, but I've always said the Champions League campaign where I was most important was 2003. However, the one the fans remember is 2007, which shows how important goals in a final are.
The truth is that I don't have a favourite goal. I remember important goals more than I do favourite goals, like goals in the Champions League where I had the opportunity to have scored in both finals I have played in. Finals in the World Cup or Copa del Rey are the ones that have stayed with me for longer or that I remember more.
In Spain, I'd taken Villarreal to league runners-up and the quarter-final and then semi-final of the Champions League.
It's Champions League nights when our fans roar us on even more, lose their voices, and we really notice it. That's what the Champions League means to me.
I just wanted to jump into the stands and start celebrating with those wonderful fans.
(on reaching the Champions League final)
I always give my best in training as if it was a Champions League final.
In football, the Champions league semi-final does not allow you to relax.
It does not get better than scoring in a Champions League final.
When you are nominated for the best player in Europe, the Ballon d'Or, playing in the Champions League, there is so much pressure. You don't know what will happen. This pressure is inside you - you always have it.
Real Madrid have that special connection with Europe and Champions League matches. The fans transmit the importance to us and when you play a Champions League game, you get goosebumps, there is no better feeling in the world than that.
