Bayern Munich captain Philipp Lahm could not hide his joy after he won the UEFA Champions League at the third attempt.

Schweinsteiger felt that Bayern's progress to the final, which included wins over Arsenal, Juventus and Barcelona, had paved the way for their victory. "We deserved it. We beat great clubs. When you beat Barcelona, you're the true champions," he said. "I'm happy for the whole club. In the Bundesliga and Champions League we had an incredible performance. It's nice that the trophy is coming to Munich and a lot of people in Munich are going to be really celebrating tonight. "We lost in Munich last year against a London club and now we come to London and win it back. It's a dream come true. We deserved it that the trophy will be coming home with us."
