As an opponent, the fiercest bouts were always against Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a fantastic player.

I like English football so much - it is very strong.

Playing Bayern is never easy.

As a team-mate, the one who taught me the most was undoubtedly Fabio Cannavaro.

The more you win, the less people like you.

History dictates that winning three consecutive championships is very difficult.

With all due respect to Icardi, the idea of him at Juve is fantasy football.

When you meet someone who gives you good advice for your own, you must have the humility to listen.

Suarez? I bear no grudges.

On Bergessio, in 2013, I made a reckless tackle and I was so sorry. I told him I was sorry a thousand times but I couldn't give him back the piece that I broke.

Only a fool would think the league was already won after just ten games.

I have crossed Suarez on the field and it was a pleasure. He is a great forward and that always means a challenge. I would like to swap my shirt with him.

It is great to hear that Italian football now has many supporters in Asia.

Us players are supposed to dish it out for 90 minutes.

We Italians are always criticising ourselves.

There are maybe four or five teams who will pay whatever they need to pay to get the player. They are huge sums, but that is the world we now live in - when one of those four or five teams want a player, then they usually get them.

I don't think my determination has ever put me into trouble because of this, in fact, I think it is one of my main strengths and makes me the player that I am - without it I wouldn't be the same.

By joining Common Goal, I hope I can encourage the younger generation of players to think about social responsibility in their lives.

Juventus versus Milan is always a classic.

Pogba was our Usain Bolt - he allowed us to play in a certain way.
