Bayern Munich and Germany attacker Thomas Muller has hailed his side's display in the 3-0 friendly win over the Netherlands in Hamburg.

Muller, who scored the opener and was involved in both of his team's other goals, believes that they issued a statement of intent with their scintillating performance on Tuesday evening.

"If you beat the Netherlands in this way, it sends a message to all other nations," he told Goal.com after the game.

"In the first half, the Netherlands radiated a bit of danger, but we clearly dominated the second half," Muller summarized. "We scored three outstanding goals."

The win capped a remarkable year in which Germany finished with a perfect 10 wins from as many Euro 2012 qualifiers, and won 'prestige friendlies' against Brazil and Uruguay, in addition to the Netherlands.
