Head coach Dino Toppmöller: “It was the reaction we all wanted to see. For me, it’s important that we deal with defeats in the right way, and also that we deal with this win in the right way. We pushed ourselves to the limit in 21 out of 23 games; only our last two games were bad. This time our performance was unbelievable. It was important to show a reaction. It doesn’t excuse our cup exit, but it was extremely important for us in the Bundesliga.”
Éric Junior Dina Ebimbe: “We played very well as a team. It was a very intense match, in which it was important to get the rub of the green sometimes. With my first goal, I was absolutely determined to score. With my second goal I received a good pass, which I finished off. Ultimately, all I want to do is help the team.”
It’s just amazing to celebrate a win like this against the best team in Germany. I’ve never experienced that before.

You could see that everyone was playing for each other out there. It’s just amazing to celebrate a win like this against the best team in Germany. I’ve never experienced that before.”
Hugo Larsson: “It was a great game, but also a difficult one. We had to cover a lot of ground. We were very clinical with our chances, and we created a lot on the counter-attack, which was part of our game plan. We were determined to show a reaction, and that’s what we did today. Hopefully we can keep going like this – we won’t rest on our laurels.”
