Nadal is one of the great champions – a class act.

I believe that we will see a lot of great champions come out of the Philippines.
Prior to ‘Action’ and ‘Justice League 1,’ there was no label ‘superhero’ for a superpowered being. It’s really the emergence of Superman and the Justice League that gets the public comfortable with the idea of people amongst us who have extraordinary power and that they’ve agreed to be our champions.
For me to be in a Champions League final playing for Milan was already the best experience you can imagine.
Winning the Champions League is the dream.
With Chelsea, the job was this: move up to the top, get into Europe. And I did that – fourth place in the Premier League and then into the Champions League, the season before Abramovich and all the money arrived.
It wasn’t easy to leave Barcelona. I fulfilled a dream when I moved there – to play in Spain and for the champions – but very few players stay in the same club all their life. To leave is normal.
Everyone knows that Milan is a historic team: they’ve won seven Champions Leagues; they’ve had a lot of strong players and a lot of Ballons d’Or.

Everyone wants to play in the Champions’ League because that’s where it is all happening. That’s where you get the A-status for players. It’s very important for young players.
Champions League football is one of the primary reasons I joined Juventus so I am determined to help the team succeed in the competition.
When I was a kid, I wanted to fight Joe Louis. But I think if I had seen Mike Tyson at that time, I would have said, ‘Nah, I don’t want to fight him.’ He’s deadly. He could have been one of the great heavyweight champions. But he goofed.
Real Madrid have that special connection with Europe and Champions League matches. The fans transmit the importance to us and when you play a Champions League game, you get goosebumps, there is no better feeling in the world than that.
I am thrilled to participate in the World Boxing Super Series, the Champions League of boxing.
Borussia Dortmund was the best solution for me. I wanted to have an experience abroad and in the Champions League. Then there are the fans – it was said they always supported the team, but I didn’t think like this.

In the Champions League, there are no weak teams.
Right from the beginning I wanted to test myself against the best, against real champions.

The fact that we’re Olympic champions and we don’t have any professional teams in our home country is pretty unacceptable.

It’s disappointing to lose a game with the chance to go into the semi-finals of the Champions League.

I want to win the Euros. And the World Cup and the Champions League.
I never started in boxing to be a British champion or a world champion. There are loads of world champions in Britain, and if you mention them to someone out there on the street, nobody knows who they are.
It takes more than driving to become an IndyCar driver. Gone are the days when drivers show up Friday morning and go home Sunday night. We’re all integral to our partnerships, commercially, motorsports. We’re as much champions in the boardroom as we are on the racetrack.
Chelsea are champions of Europe, and there is not much more to say than that. Even after winning the Champions League, they still go and sign players of the highest quality. Their ambition is clear.
I like to say that at some point, you’ll say in the history of wrestling there’s nobody better than The Undisputed ERA. We’re going to do exactly what we said we’re going to do, and that’s become champions.
I don’t think there’s anything cliche feminine about Jane Austen. And, anyway, her earliest champions were Sir Walter Scott and the Prince Regent.

Champions League matches are not always played on good pitches.
I want to play Champions League every year; I want to be at a big club and win trophies. That’s my target.
England really is the birthplace, the heart and soul of football. If Barcelona had Liverpool’s fans, or Arsenal’s, or United’s, we’d have won 20 Champions Leagues, hahaha!
I think I need another trophy on my list, and I know that Barca’s ambition is to win the Champions League. This is my goal, too.
Del Bosque was axed by Madrid for failing to retain the Champions League in 2003 but his sacking triggered the start of a spell when they won nothing for four years and failed to get beyond the Champions League’s last 16.
The team that wins the Champions League is the one that is most united.
For quality and excitement the Champions League is better than the World Cup.
I’m more of a hands-on person. I like working with young people from the standpoint of providing support for the grassroots programs. State, national and Olympic champions begin at a grassroots level.

I need to be playing in the Champions League.
At Atletico, I’ve improved at the highest level, and in the Champions League, I’ve turned a corner.
I’m capitalizing on a lot of mistakes that champions made before me. I hear a lot of guys say if they were champion again they would do things differently and respect people more. I plan to do that while I’m still champion.
I want to settle down and start an academy in a rural area, because I feel that’s where most champions come from. If you have everything in life, why would you wake up at 3:30 A.M. to train? I feel there’s a lot of talent that goes untapped there, especially in women sports.
Everything that UCLA stands for, it’s top of the food chain. So you either look at those things as burdens or you look at them as blessings. From day one, I’ve told my staff we’re going to look at it as a blessing and do everything we can to build champions.
The Champions League is a target for me in any case. I want to win this title.
