Oliver Mintzlaff (Managing Director RB Leipzig)
... about the DFB Cup final against SC Freiburg: "It's crazy.
We played 60 minutes with ten men.
We played a miserable first half and didn't get into the game.
The red card was justified.
It's unbelievable that it worked out like this in the end.
It is the first title in our short history as a club.”
... about the feelings after the DFB Cup victory and a short conversation with referee Sascha Stegemann: "We have to let it sink in.
It is great.
We were definitely not happy with the refereeing.
I just told him that.
But that doesn't matter.
We're going to let it rip today."
