A Quote by Paolo Maldini

I think Milan lack a bit of renovation and planning for the future. Too often, they focused only on the present, particularly after the 2007 Champions League triumph.

My best Champions League moment was when Milan won in 2007 against Liverpool. That was the biggest moment for me in the Champions League.

Kaka

After the Champions League final in 2007... I would never have thought I would have finished my career in Milan!

Pepe Reina

I won three FA Cup finals, two League Cup finals, and played in one of United's two Champions League-winning finals. But I lost in a lot of finals, too: the FA Cup in 1995, 2005 and 2007, the League Cup in 2003, and the Champions League in 2009 and 2011.

Paul Scholes

I remember my first time in the Champions League. I was 18, and it was Arsenal against Milan at The Emirates. The night before, I remember I put my music on my iPod. I was lying in bed, and I listened to the Champions League music. That was my Champions League debut, my first time. It was beautiful.

Alexandre Pato

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.

Javier Zanetti

The Champions League without Milan is not the Champions League.

Kevin-Prince Boateng

All of Europe's biggest clubs place the Champions' League as their top priority these days but only one of us can lift the trophy. The domestic league titles are still crucial of course, but I think most players will tell you the Champions' League is the one they want to win most of all.

Jaap Stam

We know how important both competitions are, especially the Champions League since it's such a special competition, but we want to win the league too. We take it game by game - concentrate on our league games, win them and then start thinking about the Champions League.

Casemiro

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.

Mohamed Salah

The Present is the womb of the future. A greater future happiness can be had only by investing in the present correctly. Look after the present and the future will look after itself.

Chinmayananda Saraswati

I will do everything to return AC Milan to the Champions League.

Krzysztof Piatek

Let each of us examine his thoughts; he will find them wholly concerned with the past or the future. We almost never think of the present, and if we do think of it, it is only to see what light is throws on our plans for the future. The present is never our end. The past and the present are our means, the future alone our end. Thus we never actually live, but hope to live, and since we are always planning how to be happy, it is inevitable that we should never be so.

Blaise Pascal

For me to be in a Champions League final playing for Milan was already the best experience you can imagine.

Hernan Crespo

The general rule is that my life is focused on the present, and very little on the past. If anything, I'm a little bit more focused toward the future.

Nicholas Sparks

The lack of resources is no longer an excuse not to act. The idea that action should only be taken after all the answers and the resources have been found is a sure recipe for paralysis. The planning of a city is a process that allows for corrections; it is supremely arrogant to believe that planning can be done only after every possible variable has been controlled.
