Who said what after Portugal beat Slovenia 3-0 on penalties following their goalless Euro 2024 last 16 clash on Monday:

"First it was sadness and then it was joy, that's what football gives you, inexplicable moments, a bit of everything. I didn't make a single mistake this year and when I needed something the most, (Jan) Oblak saved it."

– Cristiano Ronaldo, who missed a penalty in extra-time before scoring Portugal's first in the shoot-out

"It's motivation. I've always worked hard and I'll continue to do so. I believe in myself and I'd like to thank my family, who support me. It's probably the match in which I've most been able to help out my team and that's the most important thing."

– Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Costa on his match-winning performance and the emotions he felt after the shoot-out

"We were always on top, we had a few chances on the counter-attack, but the most important thing was getting through (to the quarterfinals). Obviously we want to improve, score more goals, create more chances and I think we'll be able to do that in the next game."

– Portugal midfielder Bruno Fernandes
