Wolfsburg party with 30,000 after cup win

Wolfsburg kept the party going on Sunday as they celebrated their first German Cup final victory in the club's history with 30,000 fans turning up to cheer their heroes. Goals by Luiz Gustavo, Kevin de Bruyne and Bas Dost sealed Wolfsburg's 3-1 win over Borussia Dortmund at Berlin's Olympic Stadium on Saturday and the celebrations continued on Sunday when a special train brought the team home. A motorcade of vehicles needed nearly two hours to carry the team the three kilometres from the train station to the town hall through streets packed with fans. The convoy stopped repeatedly for players to pose for pictures with fans and show off the trophy. "We have hardly slept at all, events like this you have to enjoy," said Germany winger Andre Schuerrle, while sports director Klaus Allofs added: "Some of us weren't in bed very long". Wolves coach Dieter Hecking, celebrating the first title of his career at 50, was the victim of the customary 'beer shower' when four players doused him with enormous glasses of the frothing liquid. "It's impressive when you see the people here in such a good mood," said goal-scorer Dost, who danced to his favourite rap music at the town hall before he also succumbed to a beer shower on his 26th birthday. This is Wolfsburg's second major title in the club's 69-year history having won the 2009 Bundesliga title. Main sponsors Volkswagen threw a huge party in Berlin after the final whistle as the team has also qualified for the Champions League next season for only the second time in the club's history.
