Luís Figo

“It's always special to play for your country.”

“I'm very proud to be a pioneer and everything that I've done in my life, it's not just about football, it's about my family, it's about my friends, it's about life.”

“I think the most important thing is to be happy. If you're not happy, it's difficult to perform at your best.”

“I always tried to be an example on and off the pitch.”

“When you are a public figure, you have to be careful with your words.”

“I had the fortune to play with some of the best players in the world, and I learned a lot from them.”

“In football, the result is an impostor. You can do things really, really well but not win.”

“There was a time when I was a child when I wanted to be a footballer. Then I wanted to be a hairdresser.”

“I have a contract and I will be here until it ends.”

“You have to be professional and give your best in every game.”

“I don’t regret the decision to leave Barcelona. I moved to Real Madrid to win more titles and for more recognition.”

“Football is my life. It has given me everything.”

“Winning the Ballon d'Or was a dream come true.”

“I am not a person who is a good man at one time and a bad man at another.”

“The pressure is always there in football. It's how you deal with it.”
