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.
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.
You want to play in finals, and they don't come much bigger than the Champions League final.
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.
When I was playing for Real Madrid, we competed in the UEFA Champions League most of the time and won it three times. When we didn't win we always ended up in the later rounds.
If you're a talented player, and you're 20 years old, you should be playing in the UEFA Champions League or in the elite European teams like AC Milan, Juventus, or Chelsea.
To be playing in a Champions League final is something to cherish.
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.
Qualifying for the UEFA Champions League group stage was a big thing in Israel.
In Spain, I'd taken Villarreal to league runners-up and the quarter-final and then semi-final of the Champions League.
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.
I think the difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona against the rest of the league is always getting bigger. It's going to be a league of two and I'm not sure if Atletico Madrid are really going to be there, what they've done is amazing - reaching the Champions League final twice and winning the league - but I think they're starting to fall behind. For Zizou, winning La Liga is the real challenge.
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.
