Reaction to the match against Bremen

Bianca Rech (FC Bayern Women director): “It’s a historic moment for us – unbelievable. It feels really, really good but it also shows that the work we’ve put in over recent years is bearing fruit. For us and for the whole club, it’s a very special moment today. Credit to the whole team and squad for the way everyone has contributed – hats off.”

Alexander Straus: “I’m very, very happy and proud of the girls and our process – the development that I’ve always spoken about in the last three years. It makes me very proud and emotional that we won the trophy today. There’s not really anything else to say.”

Carolin Simon: “There are too many emotions at once right now, I can’t even comprehend it. We’re just incredibly proud and happy. We played really well. It’s slightly annoying that we didn’t make better use of our chances and put it to bed earlier. I’m just mega happy that we won and I was able to play my part – now it’s time to celebrate!”

Lea Schüller: “We won, I scored three times – I don’t even know what to say. It was a phenomenal game. We were very dominant, it was just stupid to concede a goal like that just before half-time. But we did well in the second half and can therefore be happy to have lifted the trophy.”
