To be playing in a Champions League final is something to cherish.
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.
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.
Even when I was at the top, playing in the Champions League final for Liverpool and playing at the World Cup for England, I've never let it go to my head.
In Spain, I'd taken Villarreal to league runners-up and the quarter-final and then semi-final of the Champions League.
There is no bigger motivation than playing in a UEFA Champions League final.
Playing in the Champions League and getting to the final is everything you could ask for.
For me to be in a Champions League final playing for Milan was already the best experience you can imagine.
Every player dreams of playing a Champions League semi-final, and we will give everything.
Every team dreams of playing the Champions League final - Porto just as much as Real Madrid.
If I had a choice between the Champions League and the Golden Boot, then of course it would be the Champions League - no doubt the Champions League.
I've scored quite a few times in Europe, but scoring in the Champions League final is something special.
I think just playing in the Champions League is a big motivation. When you hear the hymn or the song of the Champions League, it's a big motivation for every player.
Of course it would be nice to go to another Champions League final and hopefully win it again one day, but for me, the Premier League is the best trophy to have.
With what I've already achieved in my career - winning trophies and playing in finals, important matches against Real Madrid and Barcelona, winning the Europa League and the Super Cup, and in the Champions League - sometimes you've earned the right to say something.
I think we should not accept and tolerate racism anywhere, in any game, whether it's a friendly game or a World Cup final, or it's a Champions League final.
To be in the Champions League final is something you need to experience. To win it would obviously be the best experience ever. To be there, the build-up - with the media even, the stadium, travelling, our fans - it's something very special.
