Borussia Dortmund's sporting director Sebastian Kehl entered the mixed zone after today's victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach. The 45-year-old praised the team for their hard work and determination to see out the result.
"We've now had two 'English weeks' in a row and still managed to produce a really good performance. My compliments to the team for the way they put up a fight again today, how resilient they were.
"We suffered, fought until the end, ran a lot more and had a lot more possession. Nevertheless, we could have made it a little easier for ourselves in the end.
"We had to win today. Given the other results, this win is very, very good. We've had other phases this season where we might have ended up drawing games like this," Kehl added.
Daniel Svensson also faced the media after a memorable day in yellow and black - the 23-year-old Swede ended up netting Dortmund's third goal on the day and his first for the club.
"I enjoy training and playing here every day. It was an important goal. And then in front of this crowd - it's just incredible and so emotional. I actually scored my first goal at my previous club with a header," he explained.
