With Joshua Kimmich not part of the squad for Germany's final two games of the international break, Serge Gnabry wore the captain's armband in Thursday's 2-0 win over Serbia as the player with the most caps in the team.

In a post-match interview, the 31-year-old Bayern Munich attacker expressed just how much it meant to him to captain his country.

“A very special experience. A day I’m very proud of. A wonderful feeling. Being rewarded with a win makes it even sweeter," said Gnabry, who was taken off at half-time and replaced by Said El Mala.

Finally getting that first win with Jürgen Klopp as head coach will be important for Germany's further progress, according to Gnabry.

“Regardless of what stage of the process you're in, it's important to get wins under your belt. Every win helps accelerate the process of us finding our rhythm together," he said.
