Kehl: "A good step in the right direction" - Terzic: "A fantastic first half" | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund celebrated a 1-0 win in the perpetual rain in Newcastle and are well and truly back in the battle for Group F. We have the reactions to the game from Edin Terzic, Sebastian Kehl, Felix Nmecha, Nico Schlotterbeck and Salih Özcan.

Edin Terzic (at the press conference): "We played a fantastic first half, had to fight a lot in the second and needed some luck and a good goalkeeper. We deserved the victory based on our first half. That was our best performance so far, against a team that press very high and play very intense football. We managed to do the things we had set out to do very well."

Sebastian Kehl (in the mixed zone): "The victory is really good for us. We wanted to be bold and not let the crowd affect us. The team have taken a really good step in the right direction. Unfortunately, we didn't reward ourselves with a second or third goal, then it would have been much calmer in the second half, but even then, the team consistently caused them issues."

Felix Nmecha (on BVB TV): "We fought really well. In the end, it was tight. I'm just happy that I have slotted home the really good assist from Schlotti. These are the games you want to play in as a footballer."

Gregor Kobel (in the mixed zone): "We knew what was coming and that it would be intense. We did a great job and stood up to them well. Our goal is to qualify for the round of 16. And to do that, we have to win a few more games. There are four teams, all of which have top quality. We can all beat each other. It will remain exciting until the end."

Donyell Malen (on UEFA.com): "We deserved the victory. We handled their intensity well and are very happy we were able to give our fans this victory."

Nico Schlotterbeck (on BVB TV): "We all know that we can be a little better on the ball, but I love these man-against-man duels. We did that really well together in the back line. It was an awesome game. It was end to end. Our fans also created a great atmosphere for 90 minutes. Then, when you're going in with a lead at half-time, you'll always take a little step back. Over the 90 minutes, a draw would probably have been a fair result, but we'll happily take the win, and we're back in a good position in the group."

Salih Özcan (in the mixed zone): "I'm here when I'm needed. We threw ourselves in front of every ball and – with a little bit of luck in the end – we won the game. Newcastle penned us right back in the end, and made it hard for us to get out."Transcribed by Boris Rupert
