Freiburg’s remarkable journey continues to unfold like a captivating fairytale. Following a strong performance in the quarter-final second leg against Celta Vigo, the German side has secured a place in the Europa League semi-finals. Sporting director Jochen Saier views this achievement as the result of hard work, but it also presents a moment for contemplation.
“This is truly extraordinary and incredible. Reflecting on how our season began and the distance we’ve travelled, along with the level we’ve been able to maintain every three days, is genuinely impressive,” Saier remarked shortly after confirming their progression to the semi-finals.
As Saier stated, “the journey continues,” and now “we want it all.“
He extended special commendation to coach Julian Schuster: “Julian is doing an exceptional job with the team. To concede an early goal within the first 10 minutes, particularly with the atmosphere here, could easily lead to chaos.”
Can Freiburg clinch their first title?
With a spot in the semi-finals secured, the question naturally arises: Can Freiburg truly claim the first title in the club’s history?
While the locals in Breisgau are typically known for their grounded nature, there is now an unmistakable appetite for more.
When asked about the club’s title prospects, Saier skirted a direct answer but made their ambitions very clear: “When you’re in our position, you definitely want to keep pushing and achieving the maximum.
It’s particularly special with this group, and I genuinely believe this could be a landmark year.“
The club is also vying for the DFB Pokal title, facing Stuttgart in the semi-finals later this month.
