Helping people, moreover those coming from where you grew up, this is the most important. Not everyone can succeed, but at least you can to act for them.

Learning is fine, but you also have to win - you only have one career.

For me, football is more than a sport, just look at the impact it has on society.

I want to win the Champions League first. If I can win the Ballon d'Or, okay, but my objective is to win the Champions League first.

I never looked at basketball as work. I always enjoyed it as my hobby. I loved it. Once that love is gone, and I'm tired of working out every day and doing all the stuff to get me ready for games, and I'm tired of lifting and conditioning and doing all that other stuff around it, and I'd rather stay in bed, then it's time to go.

In Uruguay, there is a football pitch every hundred metres, whether it is made by grass, small stones, or sand. This has been my football education.

Victory comes first because winning is the most important thing in football.

The Olympics are great, but they only truly mean something when the moments that come out of them are bigger than the individual sports.
