Last year was full of events: Madrid's "Real" La Decima, the World Cup in Brazil, Atletico's triumph in Spain... However, footballers and coaches often stand out not only on the field or the sidelines, but also in front of journalists' cameras. Goal.com has selected the funniest quotes of 2014. "Maybe Louis actually has a golden pride," Arjen Robben commented on talks about the reasons for Louis van Gaal's success with the Dutch national team.

"A stadium without fans is like a woman without breasts," disagreed Genoa's Sampdoria coach Sinisa Mihajlovic with the punishment given to the club.

It was a mustache goal," Brazil's forward Fred credited his mustache for the goal against Cameroon. "I was with the national team at the time.

I thought: 'Hell, can't invite him to my team'," former Sunderland coach Roy Keane revealed why he decided not to buy Robbie Savage. "Look at someone like Antonio Cassano. He says he slept with 700 women, but he is no longer invited to the Italian national team. Can he really be happy? I would not be," Pirlo revealed his love for the national team. "I felt like I was in a kebab shop. At moments like that, you realize how incredible it is to never develop a cactus," Thomas Muller said after Germany's victory over France in a heated match in Rio de Janeiro. "At the beginning of the season, Zlatan asked me how many goals I scored on loan representing 'Valenciennes'. I told him that I scored 2 in 21 matches. Then he said: 'Pff, do you think that's good? Behebeck: 2 goals, 21 matches. Zlatan: 2 matches, 21 goals,' "young PSG forward Jean-Christophe Behebeck once again confirmed Zlatan Ibrahimovic's reputation as the funniest footballer in the world.
