Serhou Guirassy: "I'm proud of what we've achieved. Barcelona are a strong team, but we were strong too and fought to the end. We showed what we can do. I'm happy to have scored, but it's a shame that our run is over now."

Flick: "I know the stadium and the fans"

Pascal Groß: "We played very bravely and got behind their line a few times. We played very well. I believed in it all the way. We played in such a way that the stadium believed in us right to the end. You could see that we werenn't pout of our depth."

Niklas Süle: "We messed up in the first leg. From the first minute, everyone in the stadium could tell we believed in our chances tonight. I'm extremely proud of the team. We have an incredible amount of quality, as we saw today. The team is alive and well."
