“I am proud of my team. I told the players that even if we hadn't scored and hadn't drawn, I would still have been pleased with the attitude and discipline they showed today. But fortunately, we managed to score, and that will go down in history. Sometimes we had a bit of luck, but to succeed in life and in sport, you have to believe and work hard. So, we are delighted for our players,” Lopetegui stated.
