At Liverpool, I had almost everything but titles. I felt like a king, but the team was falling apart.

Liverpool is a massive club in reputation, but as soon as I came here, it felt like Atletico to me. It is a working city, an honest city. The people work all week, and on Saturday they want to go to Anfield and watch the best team in the world.

My son is a Liverpool fan, and he was already kicking a ball before he was one. He was born in the football city; he had no choice.

I felt like I was falling apart.

I was captain in Atletico at 19, playing in the same team as Demetrio Albertini, who won three Champions Leagues, and Sergi Barjuan from Barcelona, who had won everything, and they were 32, 33. I was a kid as captain, so I wasn't the real captain, just a kid learning from them.

My baby will be growing up in Liverpool, so we have another Scouser.
