The German international however believes his achievements so far career in his career show he has been wrongly targeted.

“People know what I have achieved. That I am a World Cup winner, played for Real Madrid, set up 20 goals last season [in all competitions],” the former Real Madrid playmaker told ITV.

“When the team’s on a bad run, somebody needs to be singled out, sadly most of the time it’s me.”
