"You have to stop them. That was our motto. No matter what happens, no matter how much we have to suffer, we had to stop them. Never give up, always remain courageous and continue to defend. "We have allowed Bayern a few half chances, but not really big chances. That's why it was a top performance from us." The victory lifts Dortmund up into third in the Bundesliga, three points behind Bayern, and six adrift of surprise leaders RB Leipzig.</blockquote>
