I'm absolutely aware of the great effort Juventus Football Club has made to bring me here.
Playing for Juventus is something you dream about when you're a kid.
I just want to show that Juve have done well to believe in me.
It's true, I had a lot of offers from very good teams, but I decided Juventus because I think the project is very big, and they have very big aims, and I want to be a part of the big project here.
I do feel the obligation and desire to win the Scudetto with Juventus, and obviously everybody wants to win the Champions League.
I like Higuain very much, but unfortunately, he isn't contributing the way he does in Europe. He's playing very well for Juve and is in the running for a lot of trophies, but if he needs a rest, then why not give Icardi a chance?
When I went to Juventus, I was young, but in training, I had legends like Fabio Cannavaro and Lilian Thuram marking me. I had to work hard to get my respect.
Juventus offered me the opportunity to sign in 2017 and I turned it down. I just didn't feel the timing was right.
I am honoured by Juve's interest in my services.
The day I heard Juventus were interested in me, my mind was made up.
That's where I spent the biggest chunk of my career, having been at Juventus for ten years. That was the best thing that happened to me because it was where I got to know real football, at an ambitious club with ambitious players.
A return to Juventus? I do not think that will happen.
If you go to Juventus, you want to go for longer than two years, and you want to win titles.
Enzo, my dad, supports Juventus, so that's my team and, obviously, Italy, who I've been fortunate enough to see win two World Cups.
It's a massive honour for me to be playing for Juventus.
Historically, Juve are a very ambitious club.
I'd say Juventus has a story as legendary as the Yankees.
I watched the Juventus of Ciro Ferrara and Paolo Montero, even going back to Claudio Gentile and Gaetano Scirea.
Ten years with Juve was a great love story and I will forever be a fan of Juventus.
Juventus have been everything to me over the years. I grew up a lot here and the club always supported me.
I have said many times that I was a Juventus fan when I was a child.
Since I left Juventus, which remains the strongest team in Italy, I never thought about playing for another Italian club. I'm just not thinking about it.
Playing so many important games in a prestigious competition like the Champions League, I have experience to call upon and I'm thankful for that. I hope the other players can feel more confident because of that. Of course we're facing a very tough tie; we know Juventus F.C. are the favourites, but sometimes excitement, desire, effort and bravery can overcome individual ability.
I would say that Juventus is a myth not only in Italy, because it's the most loved team in Italy, but also around the world. And it has been in my family since birth.
Surely it was the best decision of my career to sign for Juventus.
