My worst moment in football was losing that Champions League final to Barca in Rome.
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.
We prioritise everything. We will always fight for the Champions League. Barca will always be like that - we are very excited - but the way to win the Champions League is to win the league.
In football, the Champions league semi-final does not allow you to relax.
My best Champions League moment was when Milan won in 2007 against Liverpool. That was the biggest moment for me in the Champions League.
Football is football but life is life. I am so happy at being a father and reaching the Champions League final.
At other clubs I have been, at Juventus, at Barca, we had two 'ships': one for the domestic league and another for the Champions League.
In Spain, I'd taken Villarreal to league runners-up and the quarter-final and then semi-final of the Champions League.
What is the most important moment in my career? The Champions League final played in Athens in 2007 when I netted a double.
I want my tombstone to say that I won the Champions League with Barca.
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.
With Barca, we won the Champions League after many years of disappointment, and the fans went delirious.
The thing about Champions League football is it can turn on an instant. You can have a very good, solid team over the course of the season, but the Champions League is more like the World Cup, where your fate can be decided in a second and you need a bit of luck too.
I think I need another trophy on my list, and I know that Barca's ambition is to win the Champions League. This is my goal, too.
Playing in Barca is impressive: they're in the Champions League; everyone talks about this team. You will not find another club like it in the world.
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.
