Bayern Munich's Joao Palhinha in action during the German Bundesliga soccer match between Bayern Munich and 1. FC Union Berlin at Allianz Arena. Tom Weller/dpa Bayern Munich midfielder João Palhinha has named his first season at the Bundesliga champions "the most difficult of my career" but he is ready to fight for more playing time.

Portugal international Palhinha, 29, admitted to Kicker sports magazine that "it was no easy time. "It was one of the most difficult, if not the most difficult season of my career," he said. There is speculation that he may leave again in summer despite a contract until 2028, but he vowed "to do everything to prove my value. "I have a desire to fight.
