Antoine Griezmann on Monday (27th June) gave his reaction to France reaching the quarter-finals of Euro 2016.

SOUNDBITE (French) Antoine Griezmann, France:

"We said things. We had to be better. We had to show who the France team really was. Who we are because if it stayed 1-0, we looked stupid. We had to give everything. The coach made tactical choices which helped. I'm very glad and happy for the team effort and the result."

SOUNDBITE (French) Antoine Griezmann, France:

"Matches are complicated. Opponents wait for us. They wait to counter-attack. To hurt us. Then we move forward during the match and the more the defenders become tired and it's here, with a cross, on a back pass, on a shot, the opponents have less energy to think and to react. It's here we hurt them because substitutes help us. But it's true, the start of match as I said… we have to improve. It's not good for the fans' hearts. But as long as we win… even if it's in the first or 94th minute."
