What They're Saying
Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp (via Bundesliga): "You're all sensational and you're getting a great coach, but we've still got a few plans because next week [Saturday] we're in the DFB Cup final and ideally I'd really love to have a party in the city center next Sunday. It'd be great to end things in such a way. I've had great fun here and again, many, many thanks for everything and we'll see each other again. We definitely will."
VfL Wolfsburg sporting director Klaus Allofs (via Goal): "We are in the nice situation that we have nothing. We are not under pressure. I believe that the pressure is higher on Dortmund, but it is also quite clear that you want to win the title if you come to the final. Participation is beautiful, but to be able to then keep the trophy and exhibit for all time in the museum would be great. This is no Klopp final, we do not play against Klopp and Dieter Hecking does not play against Klopp. This is a game between the teams of Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund."
