Lahm reveals why he rejected Barcelona

"Barcelona wanted to bring me to Spain. The offer was attractive, even my friends were telling me to sign, but there was a problem and the problem was me. I couldn't see myself at the Camp Nou and Bayern could offer me something bigger", the German said.

On this matter, Philipp Lahm wanted to elaborate on his comments and underlined it by saying "I thought about how happy it would make me to win the Champions League with Bayern and not with Barcelona".

An objective which finally came about when Pep Guardiola, who incidentally moved to Spain, lifted the Champions League trophy with Bayern Munich where they formed an excellent professional relationship in which the versatile footballer became the coach's extension on the field.
