"I’m 35 but I feel like I’m only 27. I feel great," he said after Real Madrid's Champions League victory over Atalanta earlier this month, per Goal.

"You shouldn’t look at the age, it’s all about how we perform on the pitch, regardless of age. I’m still hungry for more, to continue playing at the highest level and I feel great."
