Mainz coach Thomas Tuchel congratulated BVB for a deserved win and revealed he will now focus on “tasks that can be solved”. Jürgen Klopp was very pleased after the game, saying: “What my team did was just outstanding.”

Jürgen Klopp: “What my team did was just outstanding. Nothing was taken for granted. Everything came together today, even the sun was shining which is something football players don’t like much. My team has conquered their demons once and for all. They started aggressively, and played at a high tempo. I was very relieved to see that. A great display, and great goals. We actually could have scored a few more, though the game was tight for a long time. If we now pick up nine points from the last three games, then everything’s fine.”

Thomas Tuchel: “Congratulations on a deserved win. We knew that we would need to play to our best to have any chance here. We didn’t do that and if Dortmund look as fresh, sharp and committed as they did today, then they are out of our league. That’s why it was a deserved win for Dortmund and I won’t dwell too much on it. Instead we will focus on tasks that can be solved.”
