"It's quite a special moment for us to come back from two goals down at this level in Madrid," said head coach Thomas Tuchel following the 2-2 draw away to the current UEFA Champions League holders.

Thomas Tuchel on the outcome of the match:
It goes without saying that we're very happy that we managed to get this equaliser and come top of the group. It's quite a special moment for us to come back from two goals down at this level in Madrid.

...on his team's fluctuating performance levels in the match:
Being prepared is one thing, but playing freely – not having to think about things – is another thing entirely, particularly here in Madrid. After making a good start we lost our feel for the game by making simple mistakes and gave them a lot of chances to counter that we were having to clear from our penalty area. It wasn't until the 30th minute that we started to get a feeling that something was possible, that we could create chances on goal. Though were still lacking in accuracy, we had a foot in the door again. That feeling of being in the game remained with us thereafter.

...on counter opportunities that were missed and given away:
When it comes to examining this match and examining the many unforced errors we made, it helps to at least have gotten this result. We're very happy with the performance from the 30th minute, when got into the game a bit more and found the spaces. We defended courageously. Scoring that equaliser at the death completes this feeling.

...on the draw for the last 16:
The only thing we can really do is to play to our limit in each game. We can't influence the draw. We will have to go to our limits against whatever team we are drawn against if we want to make it through. But we believe we are capable of doing that.
