Bayern Munich is fully behind the women's section as a club."
Alexander Straus: "It means everything to me. It's what you work for every day. It's been a difficult process, but I'm so proud of the team. I love this club. It took us a little while to get everyone to embrace the philosophy. I was always convinced, we have great players. Now we're enjoying it."
Klara Bühl: "It's been a year of hard work. You go to the training ground every day to experience something like this. The early goal did us good today. Then we were unstoppable. It was fun, it was unbelievable what was going on here today. We deserved it. It's just a super feeling. We feel an insane appreciation from the club but also from all the fans. We're looking forward to the Town Hall balcony now, it's going to be a moment in life you don't forget."
