Legendary Freiburg manager, Christian Streich, unsurprisingly tried to downplay the magnitude of this victory following the match: "Of course, the result doesn't match the game. But, we are very, very satisfied."
Midfielder Nicolas Höfler added that, "No one would have expected this at the beginning of the Europa League. We're glad things are going so well and we're going to keep riding the wave for as long as we can."
Freiburg are already turning their attention to a huge Matchday 10 battle against the record champions, as Höfler stated:
"We are very confident and want to make it difficult for Bayern. If we can do that and Bayern don't have the best day, then we can score points."
