He stressed that the crowning of the title came after a strong comeback and surpassed the bad start of the season.
He spoke about his career personally, and said, "I proved that I do not deserve to be quickly thrown in the trash," referring to the decision to exclude him from the German national team after the poor start of Bayern with former coach Niko Kovac.
