Midfielder Julian Brandt, who scored in the first half for Dortmund, expressed his disbelief at their progression to the semi-finals after a rollercoaster game. “It was a crazy game for the fans and for us. A great game for us, for our fans, and for all football fans around the world,” Brandt said.
Striker Niclas Fuellkrug, also on the scoresheet, shared his pride in reaching the Champions League semi-finals for the first time. “I’ve never played at this level before and I’m very proud to be in the semi-finals with my team,” Fuellkrug remarked.
The upcoming clash with PSG promises to be a challenging one, with both players determined to perform better than in the group stage. “It’s going to be very serious now against Paris. We want to do better and reach the final,” Brandt added.
