I am almost German now.

There is Messi, and then the rest.

I deserved to win the Ballon d'Or.

I can be used in various positions.

The Bayern jersey means so much to me.

Bayern and I are like a married couple.

Ancelotti is a champion, in all respects.

I've just got better as a player thanks to Pep.

Bayern offers the young guys a huge opportunity.

In Europe, Bayern is my last club - 100 per cent.

Bayen need quality, you have to invest and upgrade!

The scars in my face are the source of my strength.

I really like the mentality of the people in Munich.

I have always given 100 per cent, power and performance.

I like to create a good atmosphere in the dressing room.

I won everything I could win with Bayern and individually.

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

Serie A is a great tournament with many excellent players.

I really want to lift the Champions League trophy one day.

I will play until my knee, my ankle or my back say 'stop.'

I want to win as many titles as possible with Bayern Munich.

The people who know me know: I am a good guy with a big heart.

In my long career I have experienced a lot, but never changed.

My son Saif was born here, he may even one day play for Germany.

Lionel Messi, without hesitation! I'd love to play with him and Xavi.

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

I listen to my emotions. That's why I react once I get provoked sometimes.

Sure, Messi and Ronaldo have scored more goals than me. But I won the treble!

For me, Munich is more than just a second home. I can imagine staying forever.

Obviously, there are many clubs that make me dream, like Real Madrid or Barcelona.

Bayern will always have a place in my heart and what I need, I can accomplish here.

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

Messi is class. There is him, and then there is the rest. What he does is extraordinary.

At Bayern, I have rediscovered the pleasure of playing. Here, my body is completely free.

I play how I feel. I don't have a set way of playing. I get going, looking to create danger.

Maybe I'll quit after my time at Bayern; maybe I will play somewhere else for one more year.

When the locker room needing shaking up, I did it. I remained myself, a leader, until the end.

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

If you play in the Champions League, it's a very special feeling, there's a different atmosphere.

When you've been Bayern for so long and it's your second home, moving away from here is not easy.

You have to be mentally strong to withstand the ridicule of other children and the stares of adults.

In 2008 or 2009, every big club wanted me: Juventus, Inter, Milan, Barca, Real, Chelsea, Manchester.

I want to give something new to this club, I want to bring Fiorentina into the top three of the table.

I just want to play for a competitive team that will offer me the best possible opportunity to win titles.

I am very happy in Munich and my family is totally settled - and now I have a son who is a genuine Bavarian.

Normally I provide a lot of assists and do a lot of dribbling - but it's always great when you score a goal.

I am well aware of it myself that I have to be careful. But I want to make it clear that I am not a dirty player.

I have a really good relationship with Bayern. I might become a coach after retirement, but with the youth teams.

Ronaldo certainly scores goals, but I do too. He certainly scores more than I do, but we don't have the same style.

I sometimes lose my calm for a moment, but only when I notice that an opponent is deliberately trying to injure me.
