Andre Schubert (Gladbach coach): “We took control of the game from the first minute and we dominated, but we didn’t score the second or third goal. It’s very tough to take. Now we have to get the lads’ heads up again.”
Tobias Strobl (Gladbach midfielder): We never lost control of the game and we had chances to make it 2-0 in the second half, and it’s frustrating to lose to a worldie goal like that. I think we were much the better team today.”
