Bayern Munich manager Niko Kovac believes that Franck Ribery’s first goal of the season was a deserved reward for his unselfish play this season
Ribery scored Bayern’s fifth goal in a resounding victory that confirmed the Bavarians’ place in the last 16 of the Champions League
On a night when Arjen Robben and Robert Lewandowski scored two goals each, Bayern head coach Kovac praised the contribution of 35-year-old winger Ribery in particular.
“He was finally able to reward himself,” Kovac told reporters.
“Franck works very hard on the pitch and brings his team-mates into the game. Today he scored, and he earned that.”
Kovac summed up the performance, saying: “Everything was on song.
“We defended well and took our chances at the other end. We finally managed to maintain a high performance level throughout the full 90 minutes.
“It may sound strange, but when we play in the Champions League or in the big league games, you can see that my team is capable, but when we come up against the slightly smaller teams, we sometimes don’t play to our full strengths. We need to play to our best for 90 minutes, as we did today.”
