Bayern Munich striker Mario Gomez is delighted to have won the top scorer’s award in the Bundesliga and wants to carry on bagging the goals for his side.

The 25-year-old finished the 2010-11 season with 28 goals in the league and 39 in all competitions, and also netted in the Bavarians’ 2-1 victory over Stuttgart on Saturday.

Gomez is the first German in 30 years to have scored 28 league goals in a season and now aims to better the 29-league goal record set by Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in 1980-81.

“I won’t stop trying now I’ve won this award,” said Gomez, according to AFP. “I’ll try and score at least as many goals next season too, or maybe even more. Who knows?

“I’ve carved out a place for myself at this club now. For many years, I dreamed of an important role at Germany’s best club, and I’ve got that now.

“I’ll do everything I can to keep it that way in the future. Winning the cannon was a childhood dream. I’m proud to be listed alongside so many illustrious names.”

Bayern finished the campaign third in the Bundesliga and will have to go through a qualifier to progress to next season’s Champions League group stage.
