Lahm wants to win Champions League with Ancelotti
Bayern Munich Captain Philipp Lahm has revealed his desire to win the UEFA Champions League under new manager Carlo Ancelotti.
The 32-year-old wants a second title after helping the Bavarians triumph in 2013 and he has high hopes for next season.
“I would like to win the Champions League again,” Lahm told the club’s official website. “But if it does not happen, I cannot change it – I will always look back on a career that has just been fun.
“I really had a good time, but I still have a little bit left! Ancelotti is an experienced coach, a top international coach, who has won the Champions League on a number of occasions.
“I’ve already had many top international coaches, and now I’ve got another one. This is a beautiful thing.
“For me, towards the end of my career, this is an absolute highlight.”
Pep Guardiola failed to win the Champions League but Lahm insists the Spaniard had taken Bayern to new heights.
“He’s taken us to another level in terms of tactics,” he continued. “We’ve lined up with a back three, a back four, a back five and did so well against Juventus in the Champions League last 16 without any recognised centre-backs.
“He has won three German championship titles in a row. That’s not to be taken for granted either.”
