Ralf Kellermann: "A massive compliment to my team. They put on a top performance over the ninety minutes – in my opinion the best display of this season! In the latter stages of the game, I was a little frustrated that we didn’t make it an even greater win, but that is complaining at the very highest level. Everything worked out just as we had intended – the way we defended and operated in attack. Aside from that, we got the goals at just the right times. It was a wonderful evening for us."
