Maximilian Mittelstädt (VfB Stuttgart): “I’m ready. The emotions come up. I can’t even put it in words to celebrate with our fans. That is the most beautiful feeling that you can have, I think. I am overwhelmed. I would like to pronounce Arminia Bielefeld great respect – how you can do it. You did it extremely difficult. Guys from Bielefeld all the best. “
Deniz Undav (VfB Stuttgart): “The feeling is indescribable. I think it took twelve, thirteen years until Stuttgart gets the next title – and that was today. We brewed everything in. Each game was only a section, but we showed that we can be there in any game. Today it was important to show the mentality to change the switch directly – and we did that.
Nick Woltemade (VfB Stuttgart) To his goals with the national teams: “I would like to do a triple pack when it comes to title. Number 1 now. I hope this looseness remains. I can only thank you – with my people, my family, everyone in the coaching team. Thanks to everyone who supported me.”

Sebastian Hoeneß (coach VfB Stuttgart): “In fact there is a lot of emptiness right now. You don’t understand. I am overjoyed – you just don’t see it because there is so much going on in all directions. But I’m overjoyed to win this victory. Today there will be a long night. I want to compliment my boys – it was a demanding season. For me, she was also good.” Now we have refined her. “

Alexander Wehrle (CEO VfB Stuttgart): “Great. It was a giant tension today, to be in the final again and have the chance to go into the history books of VfB Stuttgart. The boys did a great mood today. Super atmosphere, Stuttgart felt like this afternoon. I am simply happy for the team, for the fans, for all of Stuttgart. It has not ended today. Don’t go to bed at all. “
