Winning one league title at Roma, to me, is worth winning 10 at Juventus or Real Madrid.

I never thought about money; otherwise, I would have left aged 26 when Real Madrid and Barcelona wanted me.

The game has given me so much, and I tried to give so much back to the people who have showed me so much love day after day.

Over the years, I've tried to express myself through my feet, which have made everything simpler for me ever since I was a child.

The end of my playing career was May 28, 2017. That, for me, was an historic day. I'll carry it with me forever. It will be hard to explain to people the feelings and emotions I felt that day.

Football, to me, is a passion, more than a game. It is everything. But more than anything, it is love for Roma. I have always been Roma. There has never been anything else.
