Following Poland’s victory against Northern Ireland in Euro 2016, the key figures on show have been having their say on the evening’s action.
Sport360 rounds-up the best of the post-match reaction from the French Riviera.
Grzegorz Krychowiak, Poland’s man of the match:
“It’s just the beginning, the next matches will show that we can play even better.
“The team has realised that we won’t win as individuals but we can achieve something as 23 players in a squad.”
Poland coach Adam Nawalka:
“This team is a collective.
“We have been preparing for them for a long time (Northern Ireland), we prepare to win against Germany now.”
Steven Davis, Northern Ireland captain:
“It’s a disappointing evening. We have to be braver on the ball but it’s a real learning curve for us. We always knew it would be difficult but we weren’t good enough.”
Kyle Lafferty, Northern Ireland:
“Organisation, fight, determination got us through to these finals but we lacked a lot of that today.
“Obviously we knew it would going to be a tough game for the defenders and the balls coming up to me I had to get hold of. I’m not going to blame anyone else, the whole performance was not a Northern Ireland performance and hopefully we can put it right on Thursday.”
