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

Most of the games are decided by a small margin. That shows the intensity and the competitiveness of the English league. Everyone knows here the competition is ferocious. It's a bit different than the Portuguese league. But I'm going to try to adapt to this league as quick as possible.

Ederson

I always win. I think, one season with Lazio, we didn't win anything, but our premier target was to take the Champions League place, and we got into the Champions League.

Roberto Mancini

Of course it's good when you win the Champions League, the league, the golden boot. But when you win something for your country it's completely different.

Cristiano Ronaldo

What puts you in a different level is if you win the Premier League, and you're capable of challenging every season for the Premier League, and if you play Champions League, and you really believe, and you're a real contender one day to win the Champions League. That's my objective in Tottenham.

Mauricio Pochettino

At a club like Liverpool, you have to win everything possible, and you have to play for both - the Premier League and the Champions League.

Georginio Wijnaldum

Young guys in this league don't understand urgency. These guys don't understand that you never know what the league brings, the times may bring. I think they do understand what it takes to win here, and they continue to learn that.

Jimmy Butler

I've been inspired by many great players in this league, and it's great to re-inspire younger generations and guys coming into this league.

Paul George

I think that if a player wants to be at the very top, he needs to win the Champions League and league titles. That's what makes the great players truly great.

Alexis Sanchez

If I have no goals, I would retire now. I still have many: to win another league title, to win the Champions League, to win the Copa del Rey. To win the European Championships again.

Iker Casillas

The Premier League is the toughest league in the world, so it's never going to be easy to get minutes.

James Maddison

I always say it must not be an obsession to win the Champions League. It's a very important title and beautiful to do it. But you must not try to win the Champions League and lose focus on the Premier League.

Manuel Pellegrini

Italians can never win from you, but you can lose to them. (when asked about Ajax's chances in the 1995 Champs League final against AC Milan)

Johan Cruijff

As a young player, I had to compete with Harry Kane - the top scorer of the Premier League - arguably the toughest league in the world, and a striker who is performing remains in the team.

Vincent Janssen

You can't say it's good when guys out there are signing minor league deals and they would be big league players on 80 percent of the teams, but why would a team sign a player when you can pay dirt, and they're not going to win anyway?
