Thomas Müller: “The mood, especially at international matches, is not that euphoric. But when you have such good offensive scenes, the kettle boils. But we also improved a few things. We saw a lot of good things playfully and ahead. Now we have the three points that we absolutely needed. Now we can’t go too far, we’ve seen the Hungarians. You can feel a little euphoria like that, but we also have to remain objective. I think we performed well overall. “
Robin Gosens: “It feels unreal. It couldn’t be more beautiful. You couldn’t ask for more. I think that’s what the coach set me up for, so that I can bring in my offensive strength. The boys were looking for me, so of course I’m very happy about that.
“You can tweak me, I think even then I don’t believe it. Is awesome. Scoring a goal for the team is always something special. (…) I’m missing someone again. “(On his own performance with one goal and two assists)
“It was clear to everyone what was at stake, that there was a lot of pressure on the kettle. I think we solved that with flying colors. (…). It was a game we absolutely had to win. Today we also rewarded ourselves offensively for what we put into it. “(On the team’s performance)
Kai Havertz: “First of all, we can be satisfied with the performance as well as with the win. I’m happy with the goal, of course, but the cool style is more like my style of play. It was important for us not to throw everything overboard after losing the game against France, but to stick to our line. We trust the trainer, we trust the system. So we’re happy to have won the game today. Hungary are a defensively strong team that do everything in their power not to concede a goal. Every opponent is strong at the European Championship. “
National coach Joachim Löw: “All in all, it was a great achievement. Great attitude, great morale. We justifiably won this amount. There was a lot of speed in the actions right from the start. I expected that we could do better today at the things we didn’t do so well against France. Gosens played a really good game. He broadcasted Torgefahr. This is what we need. A game like this is always a nerve battle for the coach, too. They know about the dangerousness of the Portuguese, then we will also fall behind. But I’ve seen quite a few games like this. That doesn’t knock me out. The goal was to keep things in your own hands. With the win we arrived in the tournament. Now the next tasks come – and they are no less difficult. “
Michael Ballack (former DFB captain and expert at Magenta TV): “The team did an excellent job. We have to remain objective and classify the matter properly. It was an important achievement. It was good that Joachim Löw stuck to his strategy. Today it worked 100 percent. Everything is still there in the group, so we can’t lean back. “

Fernando Santos (Nationaltrainer Portugal): “It’s my responsibility. I wanted to play like that. We already had an advantage in midfield, but the Germans managed to break free from difficult situations again and again. By and large, my players tried everything. But playing against Germany is just difficult. They only committed two fouls in the first half. We had problems with the ball. Germany was the better team. I take responsibility. “
João Moutinho: “It’s a result that we didn’t want. Sometimes we couldn’t defend ourselves against Germany’s superiority, but we have to take the positive things from this game with us. Germany has a great team, lots of good players who played between the lines. We couldn’t get rid of the pressure, but then we did better. We made it 2: 4 and still had a shot from the post. But we have to keep working. “
Renato Sanches: “We also had scoring chances, like them. It was a game between two big teams. The result speaks for itself, but I think we had a chance to shorten it. “
