“I am very motivated, I always want to play.”

“It's important for me that I'm able to walk around the city without being bothered all the time.”

“Serie A is a great tournament with many excellent players.”

“The Bayern jersey means so much to me.”

“There is Messi, and then the rest.”

“Bayern and I are like a married couple.”

“If you play well, then you make yourself a great name and the money comes on its own. You earn money for what you did.”

“I can be used in various positions.”

“To be honest, I have no idea what happens after my career.”

“I never said I wanted to move to Real Madrid. If I did, I would have said so publicly.”

“Everyone knows that I had a lot of good coaches but one person was very important: Jupp Heynckes.”

“I'm very strong mentally. I have a lot of character. I never give in; I always have the drive to keep going and to work hard to achieve my goals.”

“We have to play as a team every game.”

“I appreciate every guy, whether he is a footballer or a cook.”

“I feel very comfortable in Munich and my family is doing well.”

“People are so quick to say someone is a fantastic player and deserves to win the Ballon d'Or after just one good year. I disagree with that.”

“When I arrived, Bayern were sitting at 14th place in the Bundesliga and weren't in the Champions League. Twelve years later, I left with 23 titles.”

“I always play with character.”

“He does great things on the pitch but the coach Van Gaal was a bad man.”
