Bukayo Saka on Cristiano Ronaldo's longevity: "I can't imagine playing for as long as him. When I was younger, CR7 was my idol.

Thierry Henry on Jude Bellingham's season: "I had the opportunity to play in many leagues, but footballers have it easy in England. The pressure & expectation you have to endure in Real Madrid or Barca. This makes it even more special. Then you take Zidane's 5 & celebrate like this? Well done mate"
Rafael Leão: "Today’s football is only about stats & I don’t like it. Football is magic & joy. People who only think about numbers make me angry. People must be entertained so that I can have fun too. I'm a fan of aesthetics & beauty. In football, fashion, music & love. I am a complete player"
Frank Leboeuf: "It annoys me when Cristiano Ronaldo is saying the Saudi Pro League is better than Ligue 1. Why do you think he make that comment on Ligue 1 rather than the Portuguese League? It’s because Lionel Messi played in Ligue 1. I respect CR7. But come on, just shut up! It's unfair to Ligue 1
