In the just-concluded Round of 16 match at the European Championship, Austria lost 1-2 to Turkey and failed to advance to the quarterfinals. After the match, Austrian player Baumgartner said in an interview that this was the saddest day of his life, and he felt as if he had lost everything.
Baumgartner commented after the game, “To be honest, it’s the saddest day of my life. It’s really hard to find the right words to describe how I feel. We wanted to win this match, everyone gave their all, but it wasn’t enough. This shouldn’t have been the end, it’s a truly sad day for the whole team.”
“Our defense wasn’t great, and we conceded from a set-piece again, which is very unfortunate. But we fought back, that’s our character; Austria never gives up. We had some great chances in the end, the team was very close to equalizing, but maybe it wasn’t meant to be today.”
“It’s hard to put into words how I feel right now, my mind is blank, I feel like I’ve lost everything. There were times when we felt we performed well in the Euros. I’ll need some time to process this.”
