Germany's women's football team celebrate gold in Rio de Janeiro on Friday (August 19th) at the 'Deutsche Haus'.

SOUNDBITE: (German) Saskia Bartusiak, Germany captain:

"We had to play against very strong teams, but always kept believing in ourselves and we knew what we are capable of, we have a very good team spirit, among all players as well as the entire staff. We've simply worked for this and always stood together, critically addressed problems but always kept our heads up high, that's what characterizes us, and therefore we've really earned this gold medal."

SOUNDBITE: (German) Silvia Neid, Germany head coach:

"I am really very happy and proud about this terrific victory, and one simply has to say that we made history."
