When you play against Barcelona and other great teams in the world, you can lose. It happens.
The Premier League is one of the top leagues in the world and I'm a guy that likes to challenge myself, so just to be able to practice against those types of players and play against them every weekend is a dream come true.
When I see all the boys in the top jobs across our leagues, I'm like: 'Oh my God, the only woman sitting on top of the pile and I'm only there twice a week!' It's brilliant!
When United play at home, they get some advantage that other teams don't get. I think when you go to United, Madrid, Barcelona, or Milan, when the referees referee these kind of games, it's always difficult to go against these kind of teams.
His boxing style is one that I would like to test myself against. I've always been a fan of his, and I've always wanted to test myself against Roy Jones.
I would like to unify and test myself against other champions.
It's been great to play against the top teams in the world, it can only benefit me.
Barcelona, Real Madrid, City - there are many teams you'd want to play against.
When you get to 16 at Barcelona, it's the age that you sign your main contract. I was about to sign that, but we knew there were a lot of other options because you always get them from other teams at that time. I didn't have the option to come to Arsenal until I was right about to sign with Barcelona.
There are a lot of teams that don't want to play, that only want to defend against Barcelona, and that makes it difficult. We're always looking for the open space. A lot of times we'll face six defenders and four midfielders.
Every season is so much different and you go through your ups and downs, you figure your team out, you get to play against great teams. Some of the best competition there's been since I've been in the league. Just every night, night in and night out we get to play against the top guys, the top teams. It's a lot of fun.
There was an option to sign for Barcelona and other teams before I moved to Madrid.
Teams like Bayern are who you want to be playing; if you want to test yourselves against the best you have to play them.
I like to test myself and see where I am and how I am against other people in this sport. I think that's the real draw for me.
The game is not just about the top four or five teams; it's the whole league that needs to be stable and developing. Without the other teams, we are nothing.
I have the greatest job in the world. Only one person can have it. You have shortstops on other teams - I'm not knocking other teams - but there's only one shortstop on the Yankees.
