Sebastian Kehl (within the blended zone): “We scored 4 objectives and at last saved a clear sheet—that was one in every of our objectives within the Champions League. We achieved that at this time, so we’re going dwelling very completely happy. We will see that purpose distinction can play a giant position on this league part, so it was good that we pushed to attain a fourth purpose on the finish. After a primary half that had its ups and downs, we have been capable of push the sport in the fitting route. After all, the pink card had a huge impact. We then had much more management of the ball and have been capable of construct on our dominance. We have now a variety of video games arising within the subsequent few days and weeks, so we need to hold rotating the squad. That’s what makes the depth of the squad so vital. So long as nobody will get injured, we’ll positively make use of that.”
Nico Schlotterbeck (on Prime): “The pink card did us good. We got here out of the half-time break higher this time than we did towards Stuttgart. All in all, we hardly allowed them any possibilities, aside from one or two half-chances within the first half. Within the second half, it was actually good — simply as we imagined it might be. Serhou (Guirassy, ed.) hasn’t had a simple time currently. The coach retains placing his religion in him, and we do too. Then — let me put it this fashion — a easy purpose is a weight off his shoulders. As a striker, you must be there, and he has a really feel for it. Two gamers go to the road. He does effectively and is in precisely the fitting place. We’d like 16 or 17 factors (to qualify straight for the spherical of 16, ed.). We now have three video games left, two of them at dwelling. I consider that should you win each at dwelling, you’re by way of. We’ve now scored 4 objectives once more. A purpose distinction like that may be vital in the long run. In spite of everything, we saved a clear sheet for the primary time. That’s one more reason why it’s been a profitable day all spherical. I’m going to go to the pool now, cycle a bit, after which go dwelling, as a result of the schedule is tense.”

Julian Brandt (on BVB TV): “After we rating 4 objectives and win 4-0, that’s a great signal. We defended comparatively effectively within the first half and managed the sport comparatively effectively. However we lacked a little bit of punch. Serhou’s purpose simply earlier than half-time was the catalyst. We needed to place extra stress on within the second half. The penalty and the pink card opened the way in which for us to do this. We realized from final yr that purpose distinction will be vital. 4 objectives and three factors are excellent for us.”
