They are two different moments. At that time, I was young, and even though I obviously came from a great club like Manchester City, I had less experience. I was a kid who wanted to establish himself, and at that moment things didn't go as they should have for several reasons. But in the end, all the work paid off, and that's what happened to me. I returned to Real Madrid more mature, with more experience, but with the same desire to win.
