''We were the better team for the full 90 minutes. We've won and we’re through. I've struck up a good understanding with Ribery, and I hope it carries on. I want to thank the coaching staff and the team for their 100 percent support,'' Alaba told German media. France star Franck Ribery feels comfortable that Alaba playing at left back is behind him. Ribery said: ''He's a really good kid. He is only 19 years old and has a lot of quality. He plays well, and I'm very happy, if so, a boy plays with us. I talk to him much. Of course I say something to him when he plays a slow pace, but I remain always positive.''
