In April 2013, Nathaniel Popper of 'The New York Times' reported on Bitcoin in an article titled, 'Digital Money is Gaining Champions in the Real World'.

Even when I was at the top, playing in the Champions League final for Liverpool and playing at the World Cup for England, I've never let it go to my head.

I grew up with two cousins from North Dakota who were junior national champions. They're a lot older than me and I looked up to them as my older brothers.

I won the title three times with Ajax; I played in the Champions League final and won the league title with Atletico. I have also played in the World Cup.

It's always been that opponents get down to business against Bayern specifically because they want to show how desperate they are to defeat the champions.

I'm here at Madison Square Garden as world champion and have a world champion's mentality, the pressures on to defend my belt - this is what champions do.

It's Champions League nights when our fans roar us on even more, lose their voices, and we really notice it. That's what the Champions League means to me.

Seeing guys like Canelo helps me get better because they are already champions and I want to become champion. Having role models like that helps me a lot.

'We Will Rock You' we didn't think was a single. We almost saw it like an introduction to 'We Are the Champions,' which is a more classic, very grand song.

I've seen teams spend £150 million and get nowhere near the Champions League. It has taken Manchester City a billion to get there. There are no guarantees.

I played in the Champions League constantly for 12 or 13 years in my career, and I reached only two finals. I know how difficult it is to get to that point.

I am very proud that Accenture is among corporate champions to be honored by the Women's Forum of New York for our mutual commitment to making a difference.

People always say, 'Oh, there haven't been many black champions,' but on the other hand, there are a whole lot of white people that never won a belt either.

I think we should not accept and tolerate racism anywhere, in any game, whether it's a friendly game or a World Cup final, or it's a Champions League final.

You only have to look at the England squad to see the amount of players who get in the squad and start the games - the majority play in the Champions League.

I'm very happy to have already been welcomed into the LFC family, I'm a part of history having won the Champions League and hopefully we keep making history.

You have to focus more in Serie A, because in the Champions League, focusing happens automatically, as there are not as many matches, and they are all tough.

I was like 'You know what? I'm training with these champions. Guys like Georges St-Pierre, Rashad Evans, Nate Marquardt... Let me give this MMA thing a shot.'

I've followed Dortmund since I was seven and they beat Juventus in the Champions League. I was intrigued by them because I know how passionate their fans are.

I'm ambitious, I want to play in the Champions League, and that's the aim with Tottenham - to start qualifying for the Champions League on a consistent basis.

I'd been at Everton for more than 11 years. We'd qualified for the Champions League, got to an FA Cup final. I'd been voted manager of the season three times.

I think that if a player wants to be at the very top, he needs to win the Champions League and league titles. That's what makes the great players truly great.

PSG are amongst the top eight European clubs. They want to go to the next level in the Champions' League; it is a very big club that would attract any player.

If we win the Champions League, everyone is a better, more recognised player, but if you win an individual award and nothing with your team, it means nothing.

I don't think a lot of players reach a Champions League final. If you look at how many goalkeepers in the league reach a Champions League final, I don't know.

I want to be one of the longest reigning champions, and for our women as a whole, even if I'm not in the match, I want us to have a Main Event at WrestleMania.

If we become world champions it may open the door to the Fifa Ballon d'Or, although I think it would be difficult. Every 10 years a centre-back may win it once.

It seems to be a big thing to people that a Scottish player is going to play in the Champions League final, but hopefully that will become a more regular thing.

Great champions have an enormous sense of pride. The people who excel are those who are driven to show the world and prove to themselves just how good they are.

If the 'enemy combatant' cases of Padilla and Hamdi present a clash between liberty and security, each side champions one while giving short shrift to the other.

Of course it would be nice to go to another Champions League final and hopefully win it again one day, but for me, the Premier League is the best trophy to have.

For a big club, you can accept that the team does not win the league because it is in transition, but you cannot afford to slip out of the Champions League spot.

America is the mecca of boxing, and they've had some great champions here. It's good to establish your skills and let people know what you're about in the States.

The Champions League is, in terms of club football, the most prestigious one. And if you don't win it you will never be named one of the greatest teams, no chance.

I just want to leave a mark on the sport of boxing so people talk about me like they talk about the other great champions before me. That's my goal before I retire.

An athlete must have ability to reach the top, but many who have ability and who do not live clean lives never have and never will be champions for obvious reasons.

The most passionate fans are from India, and I hope that I can motivate more Indians to pursue wrestling - or any athletics, for that matter - and become champions.

I think just playing in the Champions League is a big motivation. When you hear the hymn or the song of the Champions League, it's a big motivation for every player.

I went to the final of the Champions League, and I scored 32 goals. This pressure does not weigh too much. I'm on the field to have fun and give pleasure to the fans.

If I could apologise and go back and change history I would do. But the goal is still a goal, Argentina became world champions and I was the best player in the world.

The reality of this sport is champions make a heck of a lot more than non-champions, so the pressure to keep the title in order to keep earning that money is immense.

I think Milan lack a bit of renovation and planning for the future. Too often, they focused only on the present, particularly after the 2007 Champions League triumph.

When I started watching matches, it was those of Marseille. After that, it was Lyon. I went to see them all the time in the league or the Champions League with my dad.

On the strength of Vonnegut's reputation, 'Breakfast of Champions' spent a year on the best-seller lists, proving that he could indeed publish anything and make money.

I think it's normal that you will lose players if you don't play every season in the Champions League, because that's the intention for every player to be part of that.

At the end of your career, what you will keep in your head is the memory of winning trophies - Premier League, Champions League. Those are the only things you remember.

You must believe in the players, their quality, and send the message that working together it was easy to win the Champions League and difficult for anyone to beat you.

I have been in many teams that have had loads of talent but did not make it through and been with teams that did not have that much talent and ended up being champions.

I started chess around the age of seven. I was inspired by the game, but soon legends like Kasparov, Karpov, Fischer, Anand and many other world champions captivated me.
