The game day quote
The DFB Cup is an outstanding competition that, as is well known, has its own rules. If you perform well and have a bit of luck, then you can be in the final as an underdog. Just like it was with Kaiserslautern last season. Of course, that's everyone's dream.
The Stadium
The Millerntor is more than just a football stadium. It is a place full of memories of big games, many moments and emotions. The Millerntor – this stadium directly on Hamburg’s Reeperbahn – is the home ground of FC St. Pauli. Tolerance, diversity and social cohesion are lived in this stadium – including tireless efforts against racism and discrimination. A place where football and social commitment go hand in hand.

Nabil Toumi, Teutonia’s new head coach, at the press conference before the game: „The fact that Darmstadt didn’t start the season so well certainly plays a role. Just like we didn’t exactly get off to the ideal start and that’s of course also the case. If there’s something about the boys‘ self-confidence, it’s of course exactly the same with Darmstadt. Both teams will have to see how they get on the pitch and start in the first few minutes.“
