The Werder players are as disappointed as the fans. “It’s just unbelievably bitter,” said Frank Baumann. “We’ve had an outstanding cup run, put in a great performance today too, and we’ve still gone out. I’m so sorry for the team, they fought and came back and didn’t deserve to get knocked out in my eyes,” he added.

On the game:

Kevin Möhwald: “We had a much better game today than on Saturday in Munich, more chances, and more shots. After half time, the second goal was a real sucker punch. It’s annoying to lose like that, especially when you’ve come back from 2-0 down in two minutes. It’s just difficult, but I’m proud of our team. I don’t think everyone could come back from 2-0 down against Bayern. It’s a massive compliment to the team. ”

Davy Klaassen: “I don’t think we played badly. We can back very strongly after we went 2-0 down. And then the penalty in a situation like that. Well, we’re all very frustrated... ”

Maxi Eggestein: “The referee said that the contact was underneath. But underneath the contact was maybe with the pitch. I don’t understand it. The video assistant referee must have been so sure that he said that it was clear. Honestly I just think it’s unfair. We tried everything after that. I remember we had a similar situation three years ago. We have VAR nowadays and it still doesn’t make anything happen. It’s really difficult to understand. ”

Frank Baumann: “The team put in an outstanding performance, we were active from the first minute onwards. We showed what we wanted to on the pitch against a really good team. We didn’t fall apart when we went 2-0 down, we fought back. It’s brutal to lose today. ”

On the fans’ support:

Davy Klassen: "The fans were just unbelievable. That’s amazing, when you’re pushed forward for 90 minutes. ”

Maxi Eggestein: “It’s unbelievable what happened here today. Nights like this, with the floodlights on, are the most fun. I thought that something would break when we made it 2-2. It was absolutely amazing. Even when we arrived on the bus. I remember turning to Marco Friedl on the bus and saying “this is why I extended my contract.”

Kevin Möhwald: “The whole day today we had goosebumps. We had the right atmosphere, and we were really pushed by the fans. The game was emotional and full of energy. The fans were a factor behind why we came from behind. ”

Florian Kohfeldt: “I want to thank our fans. It was an awesome reception. I’m unbelievably sorry and I find it difficult to talk about it. It’s a sad moment. ”

On the goals for the season:

Davy Klaassen: “The Bundesliga is now the only thing that we have. We know that Düsseldorf are a difficult and an awkward opponent, but we’ll do everything we can to get Europe. ”

Maxi Eggestein: “We’re allowed to be sad today and tomorrow. You can see that in the dressing room. We’re all extremely unhappy. It just hurts. But we’ll try to take the positives out of it. We want to carry on on Friday and achieve our goals. Hopefully we’ll get seventh place.  ”

Florian Kohfeldt: “We want to experience more nights like this, so we’ll start to regenerate straight away and we want to take a big step towards Europe with a win in Düsseldorf on Saturday, so that the floodlights will be on more often in Bremen.”
