In the Euro 2024 quarter-final, Olmo opened the scoring, Wirtz equalized in the 89th minute, Merino scored the winner in extra time, and Spain eventually eliminated Germany 2-1. After the game, Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simón was interviewed by the media.
He saved a header from Füllkrug in extra time
“If they scored that goal, our morale would have been very low. I am very proud of the whole team, all the players and the coach.”
Did Germany play dirty?
“I don’t think so. They kicked the ball out of bounds in one situation, and we did in another. To call this a dirty game is too strong a word. Even German fans can be proud of their team.”
On eliminating Germany and advancing
“What we have achieved is historic, winning this game was like winning the European Championship final. We’ve celebrated, but we must recover because we have a semi-final four days later.”
Possible penalty shootout
“As a goalkeeper, it’s impossible not to think about penalties from the 105th minute onwards, Merino saved us from that.”
