"“Everything about Freiburg is positive. A small club that builds everything from its own resources. They have a philosophy, a vision. Julian (Schuster) deserves a lot of respect - but so does the entire team that makes the decisions with him. It's fantastic for German football, a really good example for many other clubs. We hope they win this trophy for German football, too,” Kompany said about Freiburg reaching the Europa League final."
"“SC Freiburg's tale is a great sports story of a tale that is massively outperforming its size and budget. A club with minimal historical success has become a mainstay in the Bundesliga in recent years and have been putting in European bids now for a good stretch of time.”"
"“They've done so in massively impressive fashion, turning around a tie against Braga this past week in beautiful scenes which saw Freiburg reach their first ever European final.”"
"“All of Germany will certainly be cheering for Freiburg to win it all in Istanbul on May 20th, and more prize winnings for a German football usually means more money invested, better players, better competition, which only benefits the league.”"
SC Freiburg became the only German team in a European final this season after Bayern Munich failed to advance past Paris Saint-Germain. Freiburg overturned a tie against Braga to reach their first ever European final, with fan celebrations captured in viral photos and videos. The club’s success is framed as a sports story of strong performance beyond its size and budget. Freiburg has built a sustained presence in the Bundesliga, pursued European bids for years, and operates with a clear philosophy and vision developed from its own resources. Vincent Kompany praised the club’s positive approach, respect for the coaching staff, and the team’s decision-making process, calling it a strong example for other clubs. Germany is expected to support Freiburg in Istanbul on May 20.
