GARY ANDERSON reckoned he made a “mess” of his return to the European Championship but still won in style.

The two-time World Champion delivered a very slick win over Stephen Bunting in his opener in Dortmund last night.

Ando, 53, delivered a 100.82 average but his shaky doubles meant Bunting was also in with a chance.

However he finished in style with his favourite tops twice to wrap it up.

He said: “It felt like I was scoring well. The doubles were, especially the first leg, double two wasn’t even close.

“The second leg was the same. Scoring was fine, doubles were a complete mess. We got there at the end.”

It’s the first European Championship finals since 2016 for the Flying Scotsman and now he faces old foe Michael van Gerwen tomorrow.

He added: “We won’t start on the travelling. British Airways done me like a kipper. I’ve got to win this tournament just to break put it that way.

“The two Europeans that I’ve done and I’ve done ProTours in Hildesheim. It’s been good.

“I’ve enjoyed it, I wouldn’t like to be away all the time like every week. I just can’t do it. What I have done, I’ve enjoyed it.

“I never ever said I wouldn’t do one. I always kept the door open. I’ve got a young family. I’ve spent years living out of suitcases.

“Since Covid and spending all that time at home, I’ve just enjoyed being at home.

“If I’d have been beaten tonight, I would have been on the first flight home.”
