“Mesut is in really top form and he’s an important player for us. He’s proved that he’s a key player in the last few seasons. I love playing with him because he’s a really talented player and we understand each other well. That’s why I’m really comfortable with him and I hope it stays that way until the end of the season, with these good moments of football” — Cristiano [x]
“Cristiano is for me an extraordinary person in every way. Upon my arrival almost two years ago to Madrid, he took care of me intensely. This help was not superficial, but it came and always comes from his heart. […] The thing I am most impressed about him it’s how down to earth he is. This is no joke, even if it wouldn’t be for many not certainly the first word for come to mind of him. Although public beliefs and the press stories might give different view: in reality despite his success, he is always helpful, polite and friendly. Just a nice guy.” — Mesut [x]
