Asked about his favourite club, Bayern Munich forward and German international Lukas Podolski (23) has said in an interview with the official FIFA website that Barcelona is, besides Cologne, his dream club:

"Cologne and Barcelona. Cologne because I was brought up there and played for them from D youth level (under-13s) upwards.

I've followed Barcelona's fortunes ever since I got interested in football, back when Romario and Stoichkov were playing. And then you look at the fantastic players they have today. Messi, Eto'o and Henry are absolutely top notch footballers. I've played twice in their stadium and that was such an amazing experience! And then there is the whole history behind the club, the past players and their attacking brand of football. I love everything about them."
