Football is a game of mistakes. Whoever makes the fewest mistakes wins.

Without the ball, you can't win.

For the world of football, Messi is a treasure because he is role model for children around the world... Messi will be the player to win the most Ballons d'Or in history. He will win five, six, seven. He is incomparable. He's in a different league.

He has been outstanding. [Manuel] Neuer is an extraordinary goalkeeper, who would deserve to win it.

If you can't win, make sure you don't lose.

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)
