The reaction to the match at Paris Saint-Germain
Alexander Straus: "That was football at the very highest level today. Paris demanded everything of us but overall we were the better team, so the win is deserved. Particularly in the first half and the first 20 minutes of the second half, we made good decisions with the ball. After that we tired a bit and made a few substitutions, but in defence we gave little away. I'm very glad about that."
Klara Bühl: "We're delighted with the three points. We came here to win and we've done that. I'm very proud of the whole team and the mentality we showed today. It was the hard-fought game we expected, and it was tense until the end. Both sides could've won today but we snatched the three points and I'm very happy about that."
Giulia Gwinn: "We had control of the game for the full 90 minutes. Of course we were aware that PSG could hurt us on the counter, but for the most part we defended that well and can be very proud of that. A set-piece situation can make the difference in these matches and that's why I'm glad that we've found our strength again."
Magdalena Eriksson: "Paris play very physical football. We knew what to expect but we stood up to it really well today. I'm really proud of the whole team. We were very confident, everyone wanted the ball and always offered themselves. We've made a good start to the group stage now with a draw and a win, and feel ready for the next matches."
