"For me, to play in a foreign country was a great experience. I think to play in a foreign league makes you more admired in your own home country. I don't think I would have become the number one national-team keeper if I had stayed in Germany," Lehmann was quoted as saying on uefa.com.
"I don't think I would have learned as much by staying here. In Milan, we did a lot of tactical work and I also had to learn the Italian pace of the game.
"And obviously with Arsene Wenger in England I had to learn the overall pace of that game. That was very important for me, the fact that I learnt these different systems of play, even if at first these new systems seemed a little foreign to me."
Stuttgart lock horns with Spanish side Sevilla on Wednesday in the fourth matchday of the Champions League group stage.
