"Iker is the best goalkeeper in the world and I do not want to create any controversy with him. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. We are not in it because we were not able to make it to the next round," he said, confident of a change of fortune.

"Madrid will recover its European prestige, and I hope it happens next season," he said.

Higuain was also asked about his own future at the club, given rumors of new arrivals at the Santiago Bernabeu thanks to the presidential elections that will be held on June 14.

He has also been linked to several clubs in the Premier League, but the Argentinean expects to stay where he is.

"I see myself here. I have a contract until 2013. There is always talk about players coming and going, but you have to stay calm and collected in such situations," he said.
