If you can score a lot of goals in Italy, you can do it in the Champions League as well.
I want to score goals, give assists and win the Champions League.
Italy was the hardest league to score goals in. Those guys just love defending.
During my time at Juve, I didn't score more than 20 goals a year, but I won every title except the Champions League. I've scored 15 or 16 goals, and I've lifted titles, and other strikers have scored 35 and haven't won anything.
If you score goals in Italy you can score goals all over the world, no problem.
Of course I want to score more goals in the Champions League. But I never want to compare myself or be compared to Lionel Messi.
If I had a choice between the Champions League and the Golden Boot, then of course it would be the Champions League - no doubt the Champions League.
Both with Bayern and with the national team, I have a lot of teammates who have achieved a lot more than me - most of them are world champions, European champions or Champions League winners.
I'm a very technical player, a striker who moves around the field a lot. I'm technical, I score lots of goals, and I like to score as many goals as possible. They are my best qualities. I also header the ball very well.
If it happens that I score 50 goals, it'll be awesome. Any player in the league would like 50. But I don't keep thinking every day that I have to score in order to reach 50 goals .
I don't think a lot of players reach a Champions League final. If you look at how many goalkeepers in the league reach a Champions League final, I don't know.
After I joined Alkmaar, I didn't score for seven League games, but soon afterwards, I started to score goals.
I want to score more than 30 goals, but I would prefer to score 15 or 20 and get the Premier League or one big trophy.
It is very difficult to score goals in Italy.
What puts you in a different level is if you win the Premier League, and you're capable of challenging every season for the Premier League, and if you play Champions League, and you really believe, and you're a real contender one day to win the Champions League. That's my objective in Tottenham.
I won three FA Cup finals, two League Cup finals, and played in one of United's two Champions League-winning finals. But I lost in a lot of finals, too: the FA Cup in 1995, 2005 and 2007, the League Cup in 2003, and the Champions League in 2009 and 2011.
What is Champions League level? I saw a lot of rubbish games at Champions League level.
