"I am very happy for all of us who worked tirelessly for this victory. We set high goals for ourselves, our team is like a big family. I'm very happy for everyone. But now we can't be in the clouds. We started well, and it puts us in a slightly safer situation, but now we have to fully focus on the match with Italy.

We showed a very solid game. I'm very happy with the way we showed ourselves in every component, on every part of the pitch. Such widespread concentration for such a young team - it brings a special satisfaction. My boys are confident and believe in what we can achieve together. Superstars work for the sake of the team as much as anyone else. My team shows all people how people can unite together for a common task," de la Fuente was quoted as saying by UEFA's official website.
