Germany's captain Joshua Kimmich shared his thoughts after tonight's 2-1 triumph over Italy in Milan.

"I'm happy with the win and the performance tonight," the 30-year-old said.

"We made a few changes in the second-half especially with regards to having more presence in the box.

"We noticed that the Italians let us have the ball around the box so we occupied the box and crossed the ball more often.

"Tim [Kleindienst] and Leon [Goretzka] did that well. Thankfully [my] crosses worked out well today.

"I'm happy for Leon and for the entire team that we won," Kimmich added. 

The DFB-Team will fly back to Dortmund where they will reacquaint with Italy in the second-leg at the Westfalenstadion on Sunday evening.
