Saving Niklas Süle’s header in extra time
“If they had scored, our morale would have been very low. I’m very proud of the whole team, all the players, and the coach.”
Was Germany playing dirty?
“I don’t think so. They kicked the ball out in one situation, we did in another. To say it was a dirty game is too strong a statement. Even German fans can be proud of their team.”
About eliminating Germany
“What we’ve achieved is historic; winning this match felt like winning the Euro final. We’ve celebrated, but we must recover because we have a semi-final in four days.”
Potential penalty shootout
“As a goalkeeper, you can’t help but think about a penalty shootout from the 105th minute onwards, but Merino got us out of trouble.”
