Price saw himself shine against Van Gerwen in the final: "On another day it could have been a different story''

It is Price's second Euro Tour victory in a short time. At the end of March, the Welshman also won the European Darts Open in Leverkusen. His new title in Riesa got another special touch. He entered the history books as the winner of an anniversary edition, because it was the hundredth tournament in the history of the European Tour.

The former world champion saw himself performing at the crucial moments. ''Thankfully I’ve been scoring well and those crucial doubles have been going in, because on another day it could have been a different story. I am sure it was a great game for the crowd. Michael is a great player and he will come back, so I’m happy to win this one.''

Speaking of the fans, they were again on the side of 'The Iceman' during this tournament, who seems to be gaining more and more fans. "I think I'm half German now," Price jokes. ''I’ve been getting great support over the last couple of months and it is showing on the board. I know I’m playing well and I’m putting players under pressure.''
