Apr 30, 2026 - 14:30

Bundesliga: Eren, this is usually a normal question but maybe a bit different with you: how are you doing?

Eren Dinkçi: “Things are okay now, given the circumstances. Yesterday was a long, hard day. The day before was a very nice day, so it’s a bit of a mix.”

Bundesliga: How was it for you after your goal and the emotions of recent weeks to celebrate with the fans?

Dinkçi: “Indescribable. It was really great to get support like that, not just for me but also for my wife. It’s really not a given to get that sort of support for an individual person in such an important game.”
