"Very difficult, they're a tough nut to crack, but we have a wonderful, well-structured team and if we play at this level we can win."

-- Williams looking ahead to quarter-final opponents and hosts Germany

"They scored a goal without doing much but we showed maturity and we have to improve things if we want to go through."

-- La Roja midfielder Rodri on conceding first in the victory

"They'll play at home, we have weapons, we'll give our best and let our people come to support us."

-- Rodri on facing Germany

"We weren't calm enough with the ball, but after Rodri's goal we had that calm, that composure, we found the spaces to score the goals and we took advantage of those gaps."

-- Spain's Fabian Ruiz on the effect of Rodri's 39th-minute equaliser

"Any opponent is difficult, we know what a great team they are, they play at home... but we have faith in ourselves. The quarter-final of a European Championship is always difficult, whoever you play."
