And the 29-year-old revealed he had a brilliant plan of action in place after hearing Copenhagen fans were planning to interrupt them the day before the match by setting up loud fireworks outside their hotel.
In his post-match interview, Gotze was asked if he liked fireworks and if he was looking forward to them. Confused at first, the interviewee went into detail and Gotze burst out laughing.
He said: ‘Yes, we placed the bus at the hotel, so that was on purpose. I slept very well!’
PSV entered the break 2-0 thanks to goals from Eran Zahavi and Gotze. Zahavi then got his second of the game in the 79th minute before Noni Madueke completed the beating in injury time.
