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

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

I always play with character.

I know there are not a lot of players with my quality in this world.

It is no secret that Louis van Gaal and I did not get along. But for me personally, the matter is closed and forgotten.

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

If I decide to leave Bayern Munich, it will be for a Spanish club. I have to think about what my family wants as well and my wife would be delighted to move to Spain. She doesn't like all the rain and snow and is reluctant to go to England.

I won everything I could win with Bayern and individually.

I deserved to win the Ballon d'Or.

We are Bayern. We have the highest standards, and always want to win everything, so the Champions League is a very big target.

It's always been that opponents get down to business against Bayern specifically because they want to show how desperate they are to defeat the champions.

No one's saying anything against healthy, fair hardness. That's a part of football. But referees must look more closely and make sure limits are not exceeded.

I can be used in various positions.

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

Each and every player wants to win every game, but that's simply not possible.

I think every club in the world would like to have David Alaba.

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

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

I can imagine staying in Munich after the end of my career. I have bought a very nice house, I feel good here and I like the mentality.

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

I feel rejected in France. And do you know why I signed for Bayern when I could have gone anywhere? Because they made me feel wanted.

If I am on the pitch there is a lot of energy in my body.

I am emotional, but that's not a negative.

Ancelotti is a champion, in all respects.

My 100th goal is good for me personally but above all, the team is very important.

For me, you have to prove yourself over 10, 12 or 15 years if you want to be among the best. Do that and then I will congratulate you.

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.

Bayern offers the young guys a huge opportunity.

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

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

There is Messi, and then the rest.

I am dreaming of winning the treble again. I will never forget how I felt after winning it in 2012-13. It was like we were flying. It's a great feeling, it's utter madness. I definitely want to have that feeling again at some stage of my career.

The 4-1-4-1 system is weird.

I've experienced so many emotions with Bayern.

The Bayern jersey means so much to me.

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

The Ballon d'Or doesn't interest me any more.

I have to train in order to be happy.

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

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

I'm not afraid of anything.

Guardiola knows that the little details that can make us better. He analyses the game instantly - that's his biggest strength, his best characteristic.

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

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

My relationship with the fans has always been incredible.

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

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

I think everyone knows I'm better on the left side.

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

In truth, there is nobody who will be able to play like Zidane.
