In the European Championship semi-final, Spain came back from behind to defeat France 2-1 thanks to a wonder goal from Yamal and a decisive strike from Olmo. After the match, Spain’s match-winner Olmo gave an interview to the media.
Olmo said: “We are very, very close to the championship, I am very happy. This team is incredible, we deserve to be in the final, we are only one step away from glory.”
“UEFA credited me with the goal? It doesn’t matter, a goal is a goal. Whether it’s Konde’s own goal or my goal, the important thing is that the team wins and progresses.”
“Turning the game around against France? We had a good game plan. We continued to play our way. Yamal’s amazing goal, he had another fantastic game. It doesn’t matter who we face in the final, whoever it is, we’re ready.”
With Pedri injured, Olmo came on as a substitute in the previous game against Germany and scored the opening goal. In this game, Olmo started the match and also scored a goal. With a goal in the round of 16 against Georgia, Olmo has scored in each of the last three European Championship knockout matches, making him the first Spanish player in history to achieve this feat.
