Mario Gotze

I would love to be the face of Bayern.

The No. 8 position is my favourite position. That's no secret.

Once you have won a title, you want more and more of these experiences, of those emotions.

The metabolic disturbances are now part of my life.

I cannot do everything right, I need to have the scope to make errors. This is normal, as in real life.

Every chapter in life helps you move forward.

I get advice, but the final decision about my life is one I always take alone.

For me, playing through all the youth teams at Borussia Dortmund was a really good experience because I was able to play against talented opponents at a relatively early age.

When I came here, Bayern had just won the treble. I was injured, then I played two games, and was injured again for the following three matches. I spent three or four months living in a hotel. All of this, combined with adjusting from life at Dortmund, made it very difficult for me.

The dream of everyone is playing in Spain, Madrid, or Barcelona.

To score in the World Cup final is not a small story, of course. Every footballer dreams of it: first to become a world champion and then, even better, to score in the final. This happened to me, and I'm glad.

For me, it's important to perform in my club and with the national team as well.
