When you've been Arsenal fan as a kid you will be one your whole life in some way.
David Alaba
For me, games against Arsenal are always beautiful because in my childhood they were my favourite team.
I grew up Seventh Day Adventist.
A final in Berlin is always something special.
Every footballer wants to take part in a World Cup with his country.
At home I have a mixing desk that I like playing around on. It's great fun making music myself. And music has always been a very good counterbalance to football for me. It allows me to switch off and relax.
I started jogging with my dad when I was five years old.
Music is a big thing in our family. I also have a feeling and an ear for it. It's something we share in common.
My sister is a singer, my father is a singer.
I've improved a lot in every part of the game.
Cristiano Ronaldo works very hard, day by day, hour by hour, for his success.
Faith means a lot to me.
When you come home and dad's making music, sister's making music and my mum is also very musical - you can't escape it.
I have always said I am a player who looks for new challenges.
We want to make our dreams come true and the Champions League is a dream for all of us.
I am aware that I can play in various positions.
Fabregas is my role model. Technically, he can do everything, and he exudes calm.
At the age of 16, when I had my first traning session with the first-team squad, I came into the cabin and there stood Ribery and he said: 'Come here, sit down. Take the locker beside me.'
There are lots of brilliant free kick specialists in the world. But the technique of Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham fascinates me most of all.
We want to win every game, that is typical for Bayern.
Winning the championship becomes more difficult every year.
We are Bayern Munich and we don't have to hide from any opponent!
It's no secret that the expectations are very high here at Bayern. We are under pressure all the time. But we've often proved we can deal with it.
I think Mr. Ancelotti is a coach who speaks to the players a lot, not only as a team but also with the individual player. He tries to talk to you and wants to make sure to explain to you what he wants you to do on the pitch. That's important, and if you listen to it, you're going to learn a lot.
I think football is a game where people come together and football should bring everybody together, whether it is religion or skin colour or where you come from. We should be happy to enjoy that moment together, those 90 minutes where we can show love. Because I think football is love - and when love is not there, for what should we play?
If you reach the Champions League semifinals three times in a row that speaks for itself. To win this competition isn't easy.
It's not easy to create chances or a game when you're just receiving long balls.
I used to spend hours on the laptop watching free kicks on YouTube - again and again. You obviously learn a thing or two.
I think it's obviously no secret that my buddy is Franck Ribery.
When we talk about racists, first, racists still exist on this earth. They're in Europe and in Austria and Germany where we play, in Italy. I've heard a lot of things and also have my own experience with that. We don't have space for this, especially in football, but also just on the Earth.
I love listening to hip-hop and going to concerts with Jerome Boateng; it's my hobby.
I'm better on the pitch than with the microphone.
I'll play wherever I can help the team.
We don't get tired of winning titles. On the contrary it's a lot of fun.
I feel very comfortable at Bayern Munich.
Look, I try to focus on the essentials, on the games. It is very good for me.
I try to help the team.
I can imagine trying something else but I really feel very comfortable at Bayern. Every year there a new challenges and new objectives and the pressure will always be there.
Patrick Vieira was one of my favourite players.
I know the Premier League very well because I followed it a lot when I was younger.
The season lasts a long time, and we need not only a high-level squad but also a big squad.
I know that in football everything can go very quickly.
Messi is not human with the ball.
Could I stay at Bayern my entire career? I'm not the type of person who looks that far ahead. I am setting short-term goals instead.
A move to England? I understand why a lot of players are moving there. It's one of the best leagues in the world. But the same goes for the Bundesliga.
Everybody who has ever played for Bayern knows how good this club is for its players. We are all grateful to be playing for Bayern.
Munich is a great place for me.
I want to be successful with the national team and Bayern.
Everyone is beatable, many things are possible in football. We have often seen this.
To be involved in the final is a dream for every single player, not only young ones.
