Thomas Muller congratulated his Bayern Munich teammates for their ‘outstanding performance’ in defeated Barcelona 4-0.
The Germans ran out comfortable winners on Tuesday evening to set up the Champions League semi-final heavily in their favour.
“It feels great. We put in an outstanding performance,” enthused Muller, who started and finished the scoring either side of Mario Gomez and Arjen Robben goals.
“The way in which we beat them was superb – we gave everything. Everyone battled and ran their hearts out. It was just the job.
“It's no secret that we have a lot of quality going forward. We've had some big wins recently, but to beat them like this in a game of this magnitude is just brilliant.
“I signalled to the bench that I'd picked up a knock before my second goal and was suffering from a bit of cramp, so I was preparing to come off, but we were still in possession so I had to keep going.
“Then I scored, which was obviously fantastic.
“Everyone knows how strong Barcelona are at home, but we're in a great position and if I know this team, we'll be doing everything we can to progress.
“Nothing has been decided yet, but things could certainly be worse.”
