bundesliga.com: Kingsley Coman, you have just enjoyed a fantastic week, which included wins over SV Werder Bremen and 1. FC Köln in the Bundesliga as well as qualification for the UEFA Champions League quarter finals at the expense of Juventus FC. What did you make of it all?

Kingsley Coman: It was, without a doubt, the best week since I’ve been playing for FC Bayern. First I provided three assists against Werder, then I grabbed a goal and an assist against Juventus and finished by completing the full 90 minutes in Cologne. Honestly, I’ve got to say that I’m spent and that this international break has come at just the right time.
