I came, I saw, I won 🏆
Today I am writing to that boy who saw so many idols lift this trophy… Your time has come. Or better yet, my time has come to say… Yes, I am the best player in the world and I have fought a lot for it.

I won for me and my family. With a lot of support along the way: Flamengo, Real Madrid, the Brazilian national team, my hundreds of teammates during those years… the people who accompany me every day in my routine and who admire me…
THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD
