Julian Schuster's side made history when they made it to the quarter-final stages of the competition, and they’ve now gone one step further following their 6-1 aggregate victory over Celta Vigo.

Schuster was full of praise for his side after their unforgettable win in Spain: "I feel a deep sense of gratitude. Gratitude that we get to experience exactly these moments together. Gratitude, too, that the team was able to prove it again today, that they picked up exactly where they left off last week—that this is anything but a given, but rather very, very impressive."

By storming past Celta, Freiburg ensured that there are still two Bundesliga sides in the semi-finals of a European club competition this season, following Bayern Munich’s thrilling quarter-final victory over Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League.
