Who said what after France beat Belgium to reach Euro 2024 quarter-finals

Who said what after France edged Belgium 1-0 courtesy of a late own goal by Jan Vertonghen in their Euro 2024 last 16 match on Monday:

"It's beautiful. We played very well against a very good team. It was tight even if I think we had a lot more possession and more chances too."

-- France coach Didier Deschamps on his side's hard-fought win

"We have to enjoy, not analyse too much. We're into the quarter-finals."

-- Deschamps

"We pushed a lot during the match, we shot a lot too but the shots weren't on target. I was lucky that I tried to get my effort on target and it deflected into the back of the net."

-- France's Randal Kolo Muani on his effort that was deflected past his own goalkeeper by Belgian defender Jan Vertonghen

"We had a plan today and I think we did well. We knew that with France's quality we wouldn't have too much of the ball but there were moments where we were dangerous… It's a shame to concede a goal like that but that's football."

-- Belgium captain Kevin De Bruyne on his side's exit from the Euros
