Ronaldo on what drives him on to succeed

‘To achieve these things you need to work. To be here for an eighth time is not by coincidence, we all have talent but without the work it’s not anything. I keep breaking records because I love to play football.’

Messi on his favourite moment of 2015

‘Last year I thankfully managed to reach all my goals. It filled us with pride that we finished it with good work. It’s hard to say a particular moment, thankfully we achieved very special moments.’

Messi believes it’s hard to pinpoint one particular moment of a stellar 2015 for him

Neymar on his 2015 and if can he match Ronaldo and Messi

‘I’m happy with the results I’ve had and goals scored – I have to thank my team-mates. We all set our our own goals. Those two are still creating history.’
