PATRICE EVRA

I've always believed that when you play for Juve, the goal at the start of the year is to win the title and a lot of trophies.

I think the French teams sometimes doubt themselves. They play some beautiful games but, when it comes down to it, do not go through.

You see on the night of a Champions League game. It is magic. It is total magic.

The only thing is against Messi you can stop him 10 times, but if he passes you once and scores, people say, 'Evra played a poor game.'

I was only a 17-year-old lad when I played for Marsala, and while I didn't play much at Monza, that is where I met my agents, who are like brothers to me.

I'm a sportsman who has competition in my blood, and I am not interested in money.

I qualify myself like a bottle of wine - the more I get older, the more it tastes sweet!

If you love Man United, you should never criticise them. You need to support them.

The Premier League title is very important, of course. I always say to play in the league and to win the title is very difficult. It makes you very proud.

A derby is a derby. When you play a derby, it is for winning, not just to play.

Allegri is an easy coach to understand, as he doesn't like to work with stupid people.

It doesn't matter if you go somewhere and you're still winning - it's always the wrong decision to leave a club like Manchester United.

I always say the Premier League is like two boxers fighting. The one who is least strong gets tired; he does down.

Sometimes you have good days. Sometimes you have bad.

Winning the Champions League is completely different to winning the Premier League.

It is important to keep Manchester United on top of the world.

When you are young, you might be in the wrong position, but you know you are fast, and so you can compensate with your speed.

A lot of people know Sir Alex Ferguson was the heart of Manchester United. He is a legend.

I don't have to prepare any differently because it's Messi, because every day in training I am up against people like Rooney, Berbatov, Ronaldo, and Tevez, so you know what to do against big players.

I'm very close to Sir Alex and have a lot of respect for him, and a lot of respect for myself.

If you are ready to play, you have to give everything. No excuses.

You can be the best left back in the world, but if you play badly in the final, people will say you're the worst.

The Champions League, for me especially, is the most beautiful competition.

I am at the top of the pyramid, but I am not stupid, and I realise that one small step could see me fall down very quickly.

In Europe, being fast, being strong, playing only with your quality, you are going to struggle against teams that prepare.
