We had a bit of luck in the game, BVB goalkeeper Gregor Kobel admitted after the 1-0 win at Newcastle United, and praised his teammates. Here are the first match reactions:

Gregor Kobel: “I always try to help my team and be there when they need me. Towards the end, we had some luck when they hit the bar twice. Newcastle press extremely aggressively. It was very intense. We were in a bad situation after the first two games with only one point and knew it was a must-win game. We showed a lot of effort and a lot of heart.”
