“We had to go to our limits”

Drained but delighted – the reaction from the Eagles after their dramatic win over VfL Wolfsburg.

Head coach Adi Hütter: “It was a real top-class game, pure drama! The performances of both teams were excellent. Both showed why they are where they are. It’s nice to walk off the field as winners at the end in your own stadium. I think the lads are shattered because they put in a lot of effort. We had to go to our limits and accept the game as it was. It was a hard-fought match where there was a lot at stake. Both teams are physically in good shape but the football was good, too.”

Sebastian Rode: “It says something about us that we created so many chances and goals against a team like this. We came back quickly from 1-0 down, which was hugely important. We’re happy to have picked up another three points in a real top clash. We’re on a roll and we’re just concentrating on the things that we can influence ourselves: working our socks off in training and in games.”

Erik Durm: “A crucial factor in the win was that we were up for the game and the fight from the first second onwards. We knew that Wolfsburg are one of the physically strongest teams in the league. I can’t remember a game that was so end to end. We want to take the momentum into the upcoming matches. I’m obviously pleased about my goal, but the win is much more important – I would’ve given up my goal for that.”
