The Champions League is a very special one, as everyone switches one gear up.
— Kevin-Prince Boateng
I put a portion of my salary to the side.
At my club, Portsmouth, my foot pains were diagnosed as a strain of the syndesmotic ligament.
When I was younger, I didn't work hard because I could rely on my talent. That's not the right way.
When I played for Ghana, I learned how to fight malaria. Simple vaccines are not enough. You also have to dry out infected areas where the carriers proliferate. I think that racism and malaria have a lot in common.
Don't ask me about Real Madrid - it's just the past.
There are so many people, FIFA or whatever, that can do something against this. They should wake up and do it. If there is a racism, those people should be banned from the stadium forever. They should not even enter the stadium anymore. Never again. That's the first thing they can do.
The Champions League without Milan is not the Champions League.
You end up trying to buy happiness. I bought a Lamborghini. Wow! I was happy for a week. After that, I didn't even use the car. Who drives around Loughton in a Lamborghini?
I still have a picture: three cars, big house, I'm standing there like I'm 50 Cent. I look at it sometimes and say, 'Look how stupid you were.' But that made me who I am, and I can look back and see it. I've learned. I grew up. I woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and thought, 'No, that's not me. I don't want to be that. I'm a footballer.'
I've never lacked guts, for good or bad.
Barcelona is the best club in the world; My team-mates are Ousmane Dembele, Philippe Coutinho, Luis Suarez, or King Lionel Messi.
A return to the Bundesliga would be super.
In football, things change quickly.
In two years, I spent all my money on cars, watches, boots, discos, restaurants, and friends who, in reality, were not friends at all. For a boy like me, who grew up in a poor neighbourhood and without money, it was dangerous.
Stadiums can be places where people of different colour come to support their teams, or they can be seen as stagnant areas where healthy people will be infected by racism.
Lionel Messi is not human. He is from another galaxy.
Players like Rio Ferdinand and Patrick Vieira have supported me, and I just want to say thank you.
Just having people saying no to racism on a commercial changes nothing.
I had a lot of money for a 20-year-old.
Fans don't care what's in your private life, what happened in your past, where you come from. If you don't perform, they judge.
Under pressure, I play best.
I bought three cars in one day. For a high six-figure sum, I got a Lamborghini, a Hummer, and a Cadillac Oldtimer.
In my life, there's been a lot of partying.
Many sportsmen, like myself and my team-mates, artists, and musicians all have unique chances and responsibilities to make themselves heard. We have the possibility to reach the parts that political speeches will never reach.
We are in the year 2013, and racism is still amongst us and is still a problem. It's not simply an argument for the History Channel or something that belongs to the past or something that only happens in other countries.
Cristiano - he has it all. He has a right foot, left foot, is good in the air, so quick.
Am I the Cristiano Ronaldo of Sassuolo? Maybe yes, but I'm 500 goals away.
I'm happy to have met Klopp.
I grew up with all cultures in the world.
There were three people I always wanted to meet: Michael Jackson, Muhammad Ali, and Nelson Mandela.
