Reactions: “The DFB-Pokal as we love it”

(on RTL): “Today we experienced the cup the way we love it – that’s what makes the cup so special! The way they (Eimsbüttel, editor’s note) motivated themselves, the way they threw themselves into every ball. The goalkeepers celebrated every save, and so did the fans. For them, it was the game of a lifetime. We all started small at some point. The lads are enjoying it, and I’m really happy for them. It was a successful day, we’re through, and everything around it was so beautiful.”

Marcel Sabitzer (on Sky): “We did our job. We made a lot of changes today. First you need to find your rhythm and get into the game. They didn’t do badly either, they put together some good counterattacks. But in the end, it was a composed performance. We could have scored a few more goals.”

Felix Nmecha (on Sky): “We enjoyed the game. It was something special for them. They did well. You could feel the energy of the fans too. In the end, we scored the goals. It’s an important win for us and a great experience for them. You don’t go into the cup without wanting to win it. That’s our goal. We have to put in good performances round by round and hopefully win every game.”

Waldemar Anton (on Sky): “It was a cup match that was very important for us as a team. We wanted to win the game, and we managed to do that. In the end, it’s a nice gesture to applaud each other together. The lads were happy that we also took a photo together.”
