A Champions League final is so rare to play.
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.
To be honest, I was never expecting to be in a World Cup final, a Euro final, a Champions League final, a Europa League final. I've done much more than I dreamt, and that's incredible.
In Spain, I'd taken Villarreal to league runners-up and the quarter-final and then semi-final of the Champions League.
When you have the chance to play a Champions League final, you have to win it.
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.
You want to play in finals, and they don't come much bigger than the Champions League final.
I had a dream to play in the Champions League, so every time I play for Real Madrid, and in the Champions League, I try to enjoy it as much as possible because it's the realisation of a dream.
If you want to reach the Champions League final, you have to play the big teams like Real Madrid.
I'm ambitious, I want to play in the Champions League, and that's the aim with Tottenham - to start qualifying for the Champions League on a consistent basis.
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.
Real Madrid have that special connection with Europe and Champions League matches. The fans transmit the importance to us and when you play a Champions League game, you get goosebumps, there is no better feeling in the world than that.
I had a lot of pressure in my career: when you play at World Cup or Champions League final, there is pressure on your shoulders.
It is truly an amazing feeling to play in the final of the Champions League with the BVB at Wembley. Ahead of my transfer to Dortmund, I definitely hadn't thought about this being a possible scenario.
I have always wanted to play in the Champions League and who wouldn't want to play for the European champions?
Of course it would be nice to go to another Champions League final and hopefully win it again one day, but for me, the Premier League is the best trophy to have.
It seems to be a big thing to people that a Scottish player is going to play in the Champions League final, but hopefully that will become a more regular thing.
