Versatile defender Philipp Lahm has developed into an indispensable first team member at Bayern Munich in the past couple of years, and the German international is keen to stay at the Bavarians for several more years and win the Champions League with the club.
"My first goal was to become a professional footballer. I've achieved that and now I'd like to win the Champions League and a big tournament with Germany," Lahm was quoted as saying by uefa.com.
"We try to get closer to the final each year with Bayern. Last season we got knocked out in the quarters and the distance between us and the top four was evident. We hope the gap will have narrowed this season and in the coming two, three years, we want to challenge for the title again."
The highly-rated defender also discussed head coach Louis van Gaal's decision to name him skipper during Mark van Bommel's absence due to injury.
"Being Bayern captain feels good and I think it's logical a player from Munich should lead FC Bayern on to the pitch," he explained. "Many great teams have players who have come through the youth system or have been at the club for a long time as their captains. I'm thinking of Steven Gerrard at Liverpool, John Terry at Chelsea, Raul at Real Madrid, as well as [Carles] Puyol at Barcelona and Gary Neville at Man United."
