On his dad's demanding attitude:

"He never said I had to make it, but he pushed me very hard in that direction. If we lost or I played badly, the weekend was ruined for the whole family, because my dad would be angry and criticize me a lot,"

"Sometimes, I didn't find my performances as bad as he did. He then made it clear to me that I wasn't doing enough. My dad was definitely demanding. In retrospect, I'm incredibly grateful to him because it made me develop a sense of determination that I maybe wouldn't have had otherwise." (From Draxler's interview with Spox and DAZN)

"I know him for only 3 months and I can already call him a friend. In a team, you get closer to some players and Marco is one of them. Sometimes we go out together, we go to some restaurant … I think I am close to him because I love his style of play. I love playing with him, he’s one of the best midfielders in the world, perhaps the best. We appreciate each other on the pitch and outside of the pitch."

On the famous 6-1 loss to Barcelona in UCL:

"We will never forget. The first game was fantastic; I read probably the greatest game in the history of the club. We knew the return game would be very different At 0-3 we were very nervous, especially with 90 000 fans pushing them. The atmosphere was incredible. But at 3-1 I had no doubt we would go through. I knew we were very poor but couldn’t imagine any other scenario. Only players like Neymar and Messi could have scored 3 goals in 8 minutes."
