In an interview with the sports newspaper O Jogo, the Portuguese international analyzed his own success in recent years.
"It's been going well. I'm still young, I'm 27 years old and I'm happy to have been and to be at big clubs, who always fight for important things. In Monaco, I managed to reach the quarter-finals once and the semi-finals once. Champions. In my last season there, I managed to win a French championship, which is not easy as there is Paris Saint-Germain. At City, I won everything but the Champions, which is the competition I lack. But we have been a team that has been very successful," he began by saying.
"Of course I've been lucky to be in good environments, in good teams, to have people around me who help me a lot", he recalled.
