Austria beat the Netherlands 3-2 in the third round of Group D of the European Championship on June 26, finishing ahead of France to top the group and qualify for the knockout stages. After the game, Schmid, who scored the second goal for Austria, was interviewed.
Schmid said: “It feels amazing. Before the tournament, I told my club teammates that Austria could top the group in the European Championship, and they always laughed at me. Now the dream has come true, it’s incredible. The head coach also just told us that the real competition starts in the knockout stage. Reaching the knockout stage is a dream we’ve had since we were kids, and winning games will keep us going!”
“I think it was an incredible game, I’m very proud of the performance, we showed so much tonight, we came back from 0-1 to 1-1, and then from 2-2 to 3-2. Everyone who played for Austria tonight deserves more praise.”
