Joachim Löw: It was difficult to start with. We haven’t played with this team before, and that was apparent. We were playing backwards to start with as well and made things difficult for ourselves. The second half was better, the opposition started to tire then as well. You’d be mistaken in seeing this qualifying campaign as a benchmark. Sure, it was good, it was a top performance. But the opponents at the World Cup finals will be of a completely different calibre. So we shouldn’t get carried away, there’s still a lot of work to do. I want to achieve something big this summer. It will be difficult enough winning back-to-back World Cup.
Leon Goretzka: That was a very successful qualification campaign. We showed consistency, even against teams who stayed very tight at the back. We scored more than two or three in almost every game. Today was all about rounding off the group in the right way, and in the second half we played some super football.
Sandro Wagner: We want to win every game, whether it is to set a record or not. We didn't concentrate fully in the first half and we weren't properly in the game. We then scored some good goals in the second half. I wanted to score a goal and help the team. It's great that I managed to do that tonight.
