The certainty that our football, the football of Spain, is recognised, that's very important to us - perhaps more important than the successes and the joy that you can create. Football hasn't always been appreciated, and luckily our football is appreciated now, at all levels of society.

Vicente del Bosque

I always like to remember the year 2008, when we had an amazing offer from Chelsea for Franck Ribery. From that day on, the whole world of football knew nobody can buy a Bayern Munich player against the will of Bayern Munich.

Jupp Heynckes

We can never achieve perfect football at Bayern because the game is always changing. There are always new influences and different styles.

Philipp Lahm

Women's football will always be different from men's football, but that doesn't mean you cannot still appreciate it. OK, so it might be a bit slower than the men's game, but then League Two football is slower than the Champions League, and it doesn't stop people turning out to see their local teams.

Millie Bright

I've always appreciated English football and the Premier League, I've always liked it.

Pavel Nedved

Bayern are a club where success is demanded, and second place isn't particularly appreciated. We have a history and culture to respect.

Manuel Neuer

In society and in football in Spain, achievements are not always appreciated or valued.

Sergio Busquets

United are more popular around the world. There is a difference and I can see that. Bayern Munich is a big club but United are bigger. When we [Bayern] were in China people knew us but Bayern were not so big in America.

Bastian Schweinsteiger

It's like suddenly in the Middle Ages, people figured men should be in charge of women's bodies since they were in charge of pretty much everything else

Inga Muscio

Bayern are like Real Madrid - a club at the highest level. They always want to win titles and are used to always having to win. Without question, Bayern is a top club.

James Rodriguez

You can play football in Bayern, in Barcelona, in Manchester, in London, wherever. In the end, it's football, and you want to play with the best.

Thiago Alcantara

I joined Bayern at the age of 11, and from then on it was all about being up to the competition. It doesn't matter who you face, you are always the favorite. You learn this at a young age. And this continues throughout your career at Bayern Munich, you are always the favorite or one of the favorites in every competition you are involved in.

Philipp Lahm

The limits are set by the referees. Those are the ones who are in charge of making sure this is football and not American football.

Luis Enrique

If you ask me how did I do at United, I will say it was my best year ever, given the circumstances I was working under. We played football that was quite alright. But it's not football that is appreciated in England.

Louis van Gaal

When I arrived at Bayern he asked me: 'How are you? Are you ready to learn how to play football?' Before, I thought the coach's job was just to set up the team. However, with Guardiola it's something different. He is addicted to football and because of that he is a phenomenon.
