Bayern Munich star Franck Ribery was overjoyed with his side's 2-0 triumph over Olympique de Marseille in the first leg of their Champions League last-eight tie on Wednesday.
The Germans have one foot in the semi-finals after Mario Gomez and Arjen Robben gave Bayern a comfortable advantage from their trip to the Stade Velodrome.
"This is a very good situation for us," Ribery told Sky Sport Germany. "The result is perfect, it is better than a goalless draw or a 1-0 victory.
"We played with a lot of discipline and we deserved to win."
Ribery then expressed sympathy for Marseille goalkeeper Elinton Andrade, who was unable to stop Gomez's shot as the ball squirmed under his body and into the net.
"I think it was a hard blow for him and Marseille," he added. "He had not played this season."
The France international also reiterated that he is happy with life at Bayern and admitted he does not feel comfortable playing in his homeland.
"It is always difficult for me to play in France," the 28-year-old said. "But now I play for Bayern, who are a great family.
"I have been here for five years. I feel just fine, everything is perfect for me."
