In his latest column for Goal, the Bayern Munich captain discusses the prospect of making his 100th Champions League appearance and what it takes to be a success in Europe.
EXCLUSIVE
November 13, 2002: It was the 90th minute in the match against Lens, the score was 3-3, when then-Bayern coach Ottmar Hitzfeld sent me onto the Olympiastadion pitch.
It was a cold autumnal day. I wore a red shirt with long sleeves, the shorts were blue. If I see pictures of it now, both seem a little too big for me! The stadium was certainly not sold out and the match did not mean anything anymore after one of the worst Champions League group stages in the club's history.
