Following his performances in the previous weeks, Nani has come out and said what we have all been thinking to themselves, but were too afraid to say anything in fear that we would jinx the in-form Portuguese play maker.

Well, he has come out and said it for us, and I couldn’t agree more. He is becoming a great player and I’m sure will continue to improve and will become a one of the top 3 players in the world, in the next couple of seasons.

“As a player I think I’m close to being as complete as I can be,” said Nani. “Now I can say I’m one of the top players in the world.

“I play for the best club in the world and my role in the team is as a decisive player, scoring goals or setting up and so the team can win.

“You have to believe in yourself and believe in your abilities on the pitch. Big games are for big players.

“I want to be one of the best. I’m not scared to play in the big games, they are the most beautiful in football – you play with very high quality.

“Beautiful football, that’s what everyone likes. And that helps lift my performance too.”
