Gündoğan, who contributed a pass and a shot, was interviewed by the media after Germany's 2-0 win over Hungary, which locked up a spot in the last 16 of the UEFA Europa League early. He commented on the game and his performance on the field.
Gündoğan began by recognizing the Hungarian team's performance, stating, "Hungary did create some threats for us today, but that's what characterizes a Europa League game. In a tournament like this, it's important to be precise and efficient when you get your chances, and I think we did quite well in that regard today."
Speaking about his role and performance in the game, Gündoğan said, "I always aim to do my best on the pitch. In an attacking position, you need to constantly look for openings between the opposing defense and midfield to create passes. It's not easy, but I'm feeling better and better now, especially when surrounded by these great teammates, we're working better together and that gives me more confidence."
