After a stunning victory (5:1) against Scotland in the European Championship, the players of the German team remained self-critical and did not forget to mention the missed goal.

Defender Ilkay Gundogan said:

"From the very beginning of the match, we demonstrated high intensity on the field and played an incredibly good first half.

That's exactly the kind of start we needed.

Before the match, I had a good feeling and it's nice that my intuition did not deceive me.

Of course, the missed goal served as a necessary warning for us - not to start flying too high."

Meanwhile, forward Jamal Musiala, recognized as the best player of the match, said:

"Of course, we felt pressure before the match, but it's a good feeling.

The ball going into our own net at the end of the game overshadowed the victory a bit, but on the other hand, it was an ideal match."
