Head coach Sebastian Hoeneß: “We’ve achieved our big goal and qualified for the Champions League. That’s something special. I’d like to congratulate the team and the whole club: we’ve had a very consistent Bundesliga campaign. With the close battle for the Champions League places, the pressure was really on in the run-un. I take my hat off to the boys for how they stood up to it.”
Deniz Undav: “Right now, the equaliser is still bothering me a bit but that will pass, because together we’ve achieved our big goal. We’ve qualified for the Champions League – it’s fantastic, it’s phenomenal and we deserve it.”
Ermedin Demirovic: “It’s unbelievable, we’ve done it. We’ve worked so hard all season for this goal – now we’ve actually qualified for the Champions League. I’m proud of the team, of our mentality and of how we stood up to the pressure today. It wasn’t an easy task – playing in Frankfurt is always a challenge – but on the whole we did really well. The place in the Champions League is fully deserved.”
