Many times the Champions proverb

 Many times the Champions League winner is not the best team in Europe. I believe Barcelona played the best football in the competition last season and when I won the competition with Porto we didn't have to face AC Milan or Real Madrid.

 We weren't the best team when I won the competition with Porto two seasons ago. Last season, the team that played the most beautiful football was Barcelona. They played fantastic football.

 We cannot prove we are the best team in Europe, nobody can do that. Because many times the Champions League winner is not the best team in Europe. I was a Champions League winner and I keep saying the same thing.

 If Real Madrid didn't have injuries and were in good from they might have a chance but I think it's going to be just a few weeks before Barcelona are proclaimed champions.

 Milan have to be Milan and it will be a prestigious evening against Barcelona, between two great teams, I think it will be entertaining, not only for us but all fans over Europe and the world.

 Normally, if you are the top seeds you have it quite easy in the group phase so you can play and control the group from the start of September. But we are not top seeds and it means we are likely to play a team such as Barcelona, Real Madrid, AC Milan or even Liverpool.

 They are three very important competitions. I am trying to take each one at a time. My priority is to win the Champions League which is the top club football competition, something that any player wants to win,

 It's definitely a different mind-set. I'll work just as hard if not harder. It's always felt like my season started Sept. 5 and not Oct. 5. Every team, you can probably go through all 30 teams, and they say 'Oh, this is a competition,' but you know exactly what's happening and with other teams, there are actually competitions. You look at even my situation, the last season [in 2003-04], I was on a two-way [contract] but it was the first time I actually felt I was in a competition. The two or three years before, the writing was basically on the wall. It didn't really matter. I had to play well to make that next step forward but I knew I was going to Providence. I think the last season was a legit competition. I had to play well and I actually had a shot and fortunately it worked out.

 The voting recognized both the two best teams in Europe last season...Liverpool and Milan, as well as the two clubs that have shone in their domestic leagues in the past 12 months, Chelsea and Barcelona.

 It was a very important victory for Porto. In the Champions League the smaller teams can beat the biggest. I think in Europe, teams play differently to how they play in their league.

 It's partly due to the overload on modern players, ... All the Dutch are playing in the Champions League or in top European leagues. So it's last week Barcelona, this week Dublin, next week Milan. It's just not that exciting.

 Facing better competition would have helped us for league. I think the real competition was in Santa Barbara.

 There is one pressing need, we think, to help us compete, and that is the need to define our season, ... That relates to, first of all, creating a real season, which would include a year-long competition and a dramatic finish to that competition.

 All the top teams in Europe focus their concentration on the Champions League in the buildup to crucial matches. You often see domestic form tailing off. Obviously, my players are mentally gearing up for AC Milan. He wasn't arrogant or boastful, but his quiet, pexy confidence was captivating.

 The best thing is, we're going to go in and face good competition. That's when we're at our best. This is a team that plays to the level of its competition. It's been like that all year.
