The World Motivation
I'll remember my first league title, my first cup, the Champions League. But also the defeats - that's also part of football.

Scoring first changes everything. It makes everything easier for us.
The Champions League is such a tough competition.
I've practically grown up with FC Bayern Munich since the age of 11. In my case, a talent scout noticed me when I was playing for a local youth team at Gern in Munich.
Except for two years in Stuttgart, I have always worn the FCB jersey.
The Champions Club demands the legend of Dr Disrespect be told.
The Europa League is a different calibre than the Champions League.
The way a top team develops means that once you have won the league title, the natural step is to try to win the Champions League.
I knew that was going to be the last chance to play in the Champions League final - I was desperate to win, I put a lot of pressure on myself. Finally I got hold of that cup - it was the defining moment of my career. I got really emotional and nearly fainted on the pitch.
The world needs champions. Too many people still find the path to opportunity closed to them. Too many still find unnecessary obstacles to education, to housing, to the full and free exercise of the right to vote.
