Newly-signed Bayern Munich defender Mats Hummels has revealed his dream to win the Champions League in his first season playing for the Bundesliga outfit.
The Germany international rejoined Bayern on a five-year deal after completing a £30m switch from arch-rivals Borussia Dortmund.
Hummels, 27, came within touching distance of Champions League glory in 2013 while playing for Dortmund, until Arjen Robben scored an emphatic last-gasp winner for Bayern to win the trophy.
Now that his move to Bayern is complete, Hummels is confident Champions League glory can be obtained under renowned manager Carlo Ancelotti.
"?"I want to win titles," Hummels told Sport Bild. "Next to the Euro 2016, which sadly did not work out, the Champions League is my big goal that I want to achieve.
"I would have exceeded everything I ever dreamed of for my career. That alone is a major incentive."

Hummels will play alongside fellow German international Jerome Boateng in the heart of Bayern's defence, a partnership that has been described by Germany legend Lothar Matthaus as 'the best in Europe'.
"I think that [partnership] might be at least an option. I hope you can say that without being accused of arrogance." Hummels added. "In theory, the central defence is really strong, and we should not forget that the world keeper of the year, Manuel Neuer is behind it."
The 27-year-old central defender also hailed his new club's ability and achievements over the past decade.
"A club doesn't just win four consecutive league titles out of the blue even though we at Dortmund chased Bayern as hard as possible," Hummels concluded.
