People don't understand how hard it is to be injured, not to be part of the team but to watch from the side.

Some referees have to think about treating every player the same, even if it's Ronaldinho or another player from a Premiership club. It doesn't matter how good you are: you have to be treated the same.

David Alaba has a very good left foot. He's scored some good goals and free kicks.

You have to surprise opponents, keep them guessing. Doing the same thing over and over again without variation will not work.

Even during a sprint, I can occasionally still accelerate. I am so fit that I can accelerate during a acceleration, like making a new start.

I enjoy working with the younger players and helping them to develop.

I've achieved everything in my career that I set out to - with the Champions League as the crowning glory.

When I'm fully fit, I have power and pace; then I feel good on the pitch.

Always, if you win prizes and are successful, of course expectations are higher, at Bayern especially.

A break in the middle of the season is good for everybody.

I want to try to have fun as long as I can and play football at a high level. I do not know how long that will go on.

The best and most important step of my career was when I moved here - and Louis van Gaal brought me from Madrid to Bayern. It was the best move of my career, and it's thanks to him.

I'm not a diver. I know that.

We have to respect the opponents.

When we are in possession, tactically, he is the best coach in the world for me. He works hard, watches a lot of games, and prepares us really well. Guardiola has the feeling for gaping spaces, and he already had that as a player.

Every new coach is interesting.

If you never pass or dribble or go on the outside, cutting inside will stop working.

The appreciation between Bayern and I has always been there, from both sides. I know what I have at this club, and I always say that.

I am not a daydreamer.

You want to win all games, which means you want to win all cups and all prizes.

I had some very good years at Madrid.

As a team, you always need to show something extra in the Champions League.

Van Gaal is the kind of guy who can really make individual players better.

I do not understand players going to China at the age of 27 or 28. Those guys are at the peak of their career. That is a waste, really. You only get one career. I sort of understand players who are already in their 30s.

Bayern Munich are a team that absolutely have to play in the Champions League.
