"A good opportunity to keep our rhythm going"

Thomas Tuchel: "It was a good test: we were given a good run-out and everyone made it through unscathed. It was really good fun to play here in Magdeburg. They've got a nice stadium with a good atmosphere. It's a real tough test."

Sven Bender: "For those of us players who didn't go away on international duty, it was a good opportunity to keep our rhythm going. Two weeks without a match would've hardly been ideal. The goals we conceded were unnecessary. You want to win every game."
