Who said what after Germany beat Denmark in Euro 2024 last 16

Who said what after hosts Germany knocked out Denmark with a 2-0 victory in their Euro 2024 last 16 match in Dortmund on Saturday:

"It was a bizarre game. The first 25 minutes were our best of the tournament. Then we scored what I think was a legitimate goal, and he (the referee) ruled it out which was petty... In the end, it was a game full of adversity. We fought well against the adversity."

-- Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann

"I think we played a super game. We had some crazy fans here today and the stadium shook, which I'm used to with Dortmund. I'm really glad for the whole team after the hard work. I'm so happy we're in the quarter-finals."

-- Germany's Nico Schlotterbeck, who plays his club football at Borussia Dortmund, speaking to TV channel ZDF after his side's victory

"We've released something in the country. We're playing with euphoria, we're playing with fun and that's when football is the most beautiful. I'm incredibly looking forward to the game in Stuttgart –- I grew up five kilometres away from the stadium."

-- Schlotterbeck looking forward to Germany's quarter-final clash

"It feels very good. We were dominant from the start. This team shows good character, we can always come back, always give it our all. We still have three finals left."

-- Germany defender Antonio Ruediger on Magenta TV

"It was a wild game with interruptions because of the weather and VAR."

-- Germany left-back David Raum on the match that was marked by a 25-minute delay in the first half due to a storm and numerous VAR interventions.

"It's frustrating for our team. Being in front 1-0 would have changed everything for our team. Big congratulations to Germany. Julian is doing a great job, good luck with the rest of the tournament."

-- Denmark coach Kasper Hjulmand on the match and his side's disallowed opener
