Of course, Stindl's mood was no doubt helped by the fact that his goal paved the way for a Gladbach win - the first time the club have reached the DFB Cup semi-finals since 2011/12. It was the club captain's eighth goal in as many games.

The Foals will face Eintracht Frankfurt at home in the semi-finals, while Borussia Dortmund or Sportfreunde Lotte will travel to Bayern Munich.
