Thomas Reis: We are travelling to Berlin to win

After three goalless draws to start the second half of the season, the ‘Knappen’ face 1. FC Union Berlin at 15:30 CET on Sunday (19/2). The Köpenick-based side, who are currently second in the table and have won their last five Bundesliga games in a row, are favourites on paper, but the Royal Blues’ aim is clear: To come back with three points!

Maya Yoshida: We’re moving on, we’re looking ahead, we can do it!

Maya Yoshida had a strong tackle percentage on Friday (10/2) and was a big reason why FC Schalke 04 didn’t concede against VfL Wolfsburg for the third game in a row. The Japanese player was rarely beaten both in the air and on the ground, so that one of the most prolific attacking line-ups in the Bundesliga (VfL had scored 14 goals in their first four games in 2023) left the VELTINS-Arena empty handed.

Éder Balanta: I can hardly wait for kick off

After the full time whistle in Mönchengladbach, Éder Balanta and his teammates went over and thanked the travelling fans for their loud support at the Borussia-Park.

It felt like a home game,“ said the 29-year-old.

Ralf Fährmann: We need to get our rewards for the work we put in

FC Schalke 04 were able to take a point away from Borussia Mönchengladbach. At full-time, the general feeling was somewhere between satisfaction and unhappiness.

Moritz Jenz after his S04 debut: The fans give you energy and give you strength

There was not much missing from a very good debut from Moritz Jenz, but there was one thing that would have capped it all off. With just less than 2 minutes played of the Bundesliga clash against 1. FC Köln on Sunday (29/01), the centre-back nodded a header towards goal after a cross from Tim Skarke. However, Köln goalkeeper Marvin Schwäbe was just able to save the effort from Schalke’s first winter signing, clawing the ball off the line.
