1. Thank God I was able to save two penalties. This is a privilege; we eliminated a champion. This is dedicated to all Paraguayans.
2. Now, with a cool head, I'm going to sit down and analyse what we've achieved. We managed to hold on until the 120th minute, and luck was on our side during the shootout.
Gustavo Gomez
1. I think deep down, Germany knew that if they wanted to beat us, they would have to sweat blood, because we were going to make defeat very, very costly for them.
2. Today was a match in which we had to be Paraguay more than ever.
Jose Canale
1. What I want to highlight from our team is how united we are. ... Today was a game we really needed to show our true colors.
2. I think we deserved one more game, and to be honest, considering everything that was said, everything we went through.
Gustavo Alfaro
1. We managed to hold on. We opened the scoring, they equalized, but then we managed to keep it up. Obviously, we analyzed every player and every detail of the penalty takers.
2. It's true we lacked certain things, but the demands of the match were very high. The temperature was high and the constant effort to recover and close down spaces often left us with less energy to attack.
3. The players understood perfectly what the match required and put in a huge effort to prevent Germany from finding spaces and playing their game.
4. It was a match full of tension from start to finish because we knew we were facing one of the main title contenders, a rival of enormous quality who, beforehand, were favorites.
