Athlete

I began as a striker, then became a holding midfielder, and now I'm a centre-half. I've done everything except play in goal.

To get to the top, you must have an edge to your game, like Ramos does.

I'm very grateful to Manchester City. They are incredible.

Maybe apart from the World Cup, the Champions League is one of the most important trophies in the world of football.

English football is very physical, much more so than Spanish football - I felt it in the first match.

I've spent my whole life playing football. My father didn't want me to play rugby because he felt it was very hard on the body, so at school, I was encouraged to play football, and that's where everything started.

There is only one thing that matters to me: the France team.

It's clear that the more competition there is in a team, the better it is for the club.

If they call me, I would be very happy. It's a dream to play for France.

I play at Manchester City. I try and give performances for them game after game.

I could have had Spanish nationality, and I didn't take it.

Every training session you take part in, you have to work very hard and train hard because there is no other way to get where you want to be - it's not a secret and not a magic formula - just hard work and application.

I could be a world champion.

The Champions League is probably the biggest goal a footballer can have.

I can still improve, and that's what I try to do every day and train strong, and as I said, I try to improve every day and make myself a better player, and that's what I am trying to do.

I am here to win every possible title, including the Champions League.

That's what football is about - trying to win it all - and that's what we'll try and do.

I've renewed four times with Athletic. I've done what I wanted, I've shown confidence in the club and them in me.

I like to think of myself as a modern defender rather than old school.

City are a club with a lot of ambition, and they are one of the best teams in Europe.
