  • I've scored many goals that I've liked, but I think the best memory I have is the one against Korea in the 2010 World Cup.

  • Every player would love to get to the absolute top, and Real Madrid is it.

  • When I was playing for Nacional in Montevideo, the players who lived outside the city would be given money by the club to get there and back on the bus.

  • After my 10-match ban in 2013 for biting Branislav Ivanovic, I had questioned the double standards and how the fact that no one actually gets hurt is never taken into consideration.

  • I had a really hard time growing up; we were a large family, and we didn't have much money at home.

  • I wanted my children to be able to see me play at the World Cup.

  • When I was a kid, there were some people around me who were a bad influence. When I met my girlfriend Sofia, who is now my wife, I think it all changed. She was very important for me, because she steered me back on to the path I wanted to be on.

  • Injuries are not only a physical question, which is the most important thing, of course, but also a question of your mind. If you're thinking: 'I'm not going to make it', 'I can't cope', 'it hurts', 'it's never going to get better', then it won't.

  • I'm an emotional person, and I externalise my feelings a lot with some things, but I'm strong with others.

  • I'm my own severest critic, and I realize when I make mistakes.

  • I have always preferred to keep things to myself rather than sharing them with anyone, but I am learning that if you let it go, you feel better for it. Don't keep it all bottled up inside; don't take it all on alone.

  • My record shows that I'm not the kind of player who wants to change clubs every season, and I would have no problem playing in England for many more years.

  • I much prefer being told off by Brendan Rodgers than by my wife. Brendan is more careful than my wife with what he says.

  • I'm not going to another club to hurt Liverpool.

  • If you don't speak Spanish, then don't accuse me of insulting you in that language, let alone insulting you ten times.

  • Away from the pitch, I'm a very calm person. I maybe have the odd cross word with my wife, like any relationship, but that's it.

  • Sometimes English football takes pride in having the lowest yellow-card count in Europe, but of course it will have if you can take someone's leg off and still not be booked.

  • I think the people who really know who Luis is are the people who are by my side, who have always been by my side.

  • I still sleep soundly every night. I'm not worried about everything people say.

  • I want to do things right. I really, really do.

  • People ask, 'How can you let a defeat hurt you so much?' But it comes back to the effort you have put into your career as a youngster.

  • I think all the bad things I have been through are in the past. I believe I am on the right path now, dealing with the people who can help me, the right kind of people.

  • I have been hit from all sides, and I'm only human. They have ended up talking about the way I look, and it hurts. I have a family, and they suffer, too. It has gone over the limit, and I am tired of it. I have a wife and child, too, and I am not prepared to go on putting up with it English journalists.

  • It's important for the team not to be relying on one player.

  • Every player feels differently about playing football. We are all different people. I am the type who wants to win all the time. I hate to lose.

  • Everyone has different ways of defending themselves.

  • I will give my soul every game.

  • Of course I would like to play with Cristiano Ronaldo - he is a great player.

  • I have a very strange way of playing football.

  • I'm used to being the main goal scorer, but I also always like to help.

  • In Latin America the border between soccer and politics is vague. There is a long list of governments that have fallen or been overthrown after the defeat of the national team.

  • When I was a kid, I got sent off for head-butting a referee: I ran 50m to argue a decision, I was shown a red card, and I head-butted him. I'm really not proud of that.

  • It disturbs me that Liverpool are not in the Champions League and fighting for the Premier League.

  • I normally try to be tranquil on the pitch.

  • It's especially important for my little girl to see her papa at work.

  • On the field, sometimes passion overwhelms you, and you do things you regret afterward.

  • My wife says that if people reach conclusions as to what I am like based on what they see from me on the pitch they would say I am a guy who is always annoyed, always in a bad mood, they'd say what must it be like to live with me. There are two of me, two different people.

  • When you feel you've done something wrong, you should apologise for it.

  • All I can say is that I have arrived with the desire to be a success at Barca, that I am hungry to win titles.

  • Coaches have told me I can help the team much more if I don't talk, if I don't moan.

  • The only thing I want is the respect of the fans of Liverpool and the fans of the national team of Uruguay.

  • It is always a bit hypocritical when a defender who spends the whole game kicking you complains of being kicked.

  • Negro' can refer to anyone with dark hair as well as dark skin, and I've been used to the word being used in Spanish in this way all my life.

  • My first season at Liverpool had good moments but also bad ones. We played three tournaments and we played two finals, and that was good.

  • There are only three million people in Uruguay, but there is such hunger for glory: you'll do anything to make it; you have that extra desire to run, to suffer. I can't explain our success, but I think that's a reason.

  • I am obviously a striker who likes to score a lot of goals and have done that in every team I have been with.

  • Obviously, being a forward, I would like to score more goals. But while the team does well, there is no problem.

  • I've been booed in Holland and in Uruguay - as a professional footballer, you need to have thick skin and just get used to it.

  • At first I didn't think I was going to fit into Barcelona's way of playing. There was a lot of tiki-taka and I was thinking that without a lot of space to play in, I'd find it more difficult. I worried about that.

  • Everything you see comes from inside. People don't see it but inside the dressing room we laugh and joke a lot so it's not just for the cameras. It's the way things are off the pitch too. We are happy for each other, it is all natural.

  • Gabriel Batistuta. He was a spectacular No 9 - great at finding space, shooting from outside the box, good in the air. He was always a reference for me and I used to watch the way he played.

  • I know what my strengths are and what theirs are and what the three of us do is play for the good of the team.

  • I lost my balance, making my body unstable and falling on top of my opponent. At that moment I hit my face against the player leaving a small bruise on my cheek and a strong pain in my teeth.

  • I never told you this but I always thought the club should have recognised you far more when you retired. For the career that you had, one of Liverpool's greatest players, you should have had a much bigger and better send-off in your final match. That's just what I felt.

  • I swear on my children's lives that I never look at the statistics or look at beating anyone's records. All I do is look to improve but not compete against any record. I want to win trophies and score goals because that's my job as a forward.

  • I want to be remembered for the good things - for winning the Champions League, for winning five of the first six trophies at Barcelona. I could win another Champions League and I want to go on making history. It goes back to the feeling of more responsibility at Liverpool. I felt I had to suffer more to not be criticised but here the responsibility falls on others too and I can enjoy it more.

  • I'd have to say I enjoy myself a lot more, really. I don't feel so much responsibility as I did in other teams. It felt sometimes at Ajax and Liverpool that it had to be me. Now, every time I go out on to the pitch, I enjoy myself and laugh. I have gone through too many difficult times in my career and I don't want to keep thinking about them.

  • I'm not envious of Leo [Messi]or Ney [Neymar]. Why would I be? If there is envy in the dressing room, you know it's only going to affect results.

  • I'm paying for a mistake I made

  • In the Premier League you never really know what is going to happen. There is very little between the teams.

  • It was a dream to arrive at Liverpool but I never wanted to just settle for what I had achieved. I wanted more.

  • It's a huge honour to wear No 7 at Liverpool. I think about the legends: Dalglish, Keegan and that Australian guy.

  • I've got a magnificent relationship with Leo (Messi) and Ney (Neymar). They drive the team, with Andres Iniesta as well - what a player. You know if you have a good relationship with them off the pitch it will be that way on the pitch too. They took it as a sign that I had come to help them, not to compete with them.

  • Look, thereâ??s no rule in soccer against biting your opponent. Thereâ??s not even a rule against eating your opponent. The only rule in soccer is that you canâ??t use your hands.

  • My desire at Liverpool was to help get the club playing in the elite because they had been five years without it. We used to talk about it in the dressing room. If Liverpool are not in the Champions League, it is difficult to get the best players to come to the club.

  • Steven Gerrard is the best player I've ever played with.

  • There is always a chance to get even and I'm proud of the fact that for all the blows I always got back up again. That's what makes me most content.

  • We don't even get food for 2 times a day, still I didn't give up and continued to play football

  • You just can't believe how quickly things happen in football and the way life turns. I went from being the bad guy, the worst player who gets all the criticism, to being the player who makes the difference and scores the important goals.

  • That's the mentality - don't just play it, win it.
