Xabi Alonso reflected on the game saying, "It was an intense first Bundesliga game for us. A lot of things happened in the second half, it was full of emotion right to the end." His comments highlighted the unpredictable nature of the match, emphasizing the challenges faced by his team despite securing the win.
On the game-winning moment, Wirtz stated, "I just reacted fast to the rebound after my penalty was saved. I'm glad I could score again and help the team win." This illustrates not just his personal determination but also the critical moments of a tightly contested match.
Alonso also expressed that his team needed to improve, saying, "We weren't always so compact today, and we were also a bit passive in some phases. We have to do that better." His focus on compactness in defense indicates an area for improvement as the season progresses.
