I’m really happy with the result tonight. It was a very difficult game — we had to compose with a lot of players missing. It’s always a great battle against Dinamo. But thanks to our fans — they were the best in the arena. It’s easier to play at a high level when you have this atmosphere, with supporters like that. It is a very important win because there are not many games left in the group stage, and it’s an important win to finish in the two first spots.

This was wow. We are really, really happy about our performance tonight. It was a great and tough game from both teams. The two teams fought for the victory in a really intense match. It's a great night for Magdeburg — it was a great atmosphere. Now we have two more games. We hope to secure the second position.

Our squad proved how balanced we are — that we even can replace top stars such as Magnus Saugstrup or Omar Ingi Magnusson. We did not cause many mistakes. It was not a win because of Kay Smits and Nikola Portner — it was a success of the team. Every player fought for every centimetre as a team.

It will be a big match between two teams who will fight for direct qualification to the quarter-finals. We are looking forward to solving the problems that we had against GOG. It will be a tough match with a lot of intensity. There will be a lot of goals because both teams have the same philosophy. The arena of Magdeburg is one of the toughest in the Bundesliga, so it will not be easy.

Every time, it is an honour to play against Kiel — a sportsmanlike opponent. Sometimes they win, sometimes we win. I think that those who visited the arena enjoyed this game. This is the team that everyone wants to see in Szeged: everyone fought for everyone.

Paris Saint Germain are the leader of group A and have amazing players. It will be very complicated for us, but it is, in any case, a handball match. Our objectives are realistic. It is not easy to win outside, as we saw in Porto.

The Celje players showed again tonight that they can compete with any team. They played a great game in a fantastic atmosphere. This time we pulled through and ended up winning.

I told the players after the game that I am proud of them. We played great for 59 minutes, we were better, and then we were unlucky. Last Thursday we scored in the last seconds and were lucky, but today the luck turned the other way.

We all know that Aalborg are a good team and coach Madsen does a good job there. The absence of Mikkel Hansen was a a help for us, but during the game they were fighting. Andreas Wolff and the defence by my team made the difference. Thanks to them we had more chances in counterattacks.

We are disappointed with the final result. You can always lose when there is an atmosphere like here in the arena and when playing against such a great team. I am not happy about the style of our game today. We missed too many chances to score a goal.
