Benji, we have booked place in the semi-finals following your Player of the Match performance. How are you feeling after the game?

"To start off, thank you. I have no words for how amazing the feeling is when you win, especially in these do-or-die cup matches. The team played really well and we now need to build on this positive display, hunger and team spirit over the next few weeks, especially at the weekend against Mainz."

You mentioned team spirit there. The cup is arguably the competition in which we perform best so what was different today in terms of the mood in camp?

"I don't know if anything was different but perhaps there's something in the fact that every cup game is almost like a final. What is clear though is that we have the potential to produce such performances and just need to bring them out of us.

I am sure that we can continue to play as we did today. That is what we need to demonstrate in the next few games and I'm looking forward to doing so."

We won by a single goal today thanks to your penalty. Most players might be feeling rather nervous if stepping up to take a crucial spot kick, but what was going through your head?

"I honestly wasn't nervous before taking the penalty. I always decide where I'm going to put the ball beforehand, so I was confident of sticking it away. You can't allow yourself to become nervous in those sorts of situations."

You remained ice-cold, as ever. Attentions now turn back to the Bundesliga and the upcoming clash with Mainz. What do you hope to carry forward from today for the rest of the season?

"Today's team spirit, for sure. At every point during that game, it was clear that we were going for the win and that's exactly the mindset we need for the next tasks at hand. As I already said, we have the potential to perform like this and now need to do so in each match we play."
