Paraguay's captain and defensive stalwart, Gustavo Gomez, expressed immense pride in his team's performance following their historic penalty shootout victory over Germany at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

“I think the feeling right now is hard to explain. I am extremely proud of my teammates and the entire squad,” the emotional defender shared.
Gomez highlighted the incredible team spirit and cohesion that helped Paraguay rewrite their World Cup history.
“In my previous interview, I said this squad deserved at least one more game. Given everything we've been through, I'm most impressed by our unity. We possess incredible strength to face any situation. Germany knew very well they would have to work exceptionally hard to beat us,” the Paraguayan defender concluded.
