“I haven't taken a penalty since I was under-19. It's a move I do a lot at Barcelona in training. Naturally, I asked the coach if I could take it. It worked for me. But I won't say more, if we find ourselves in this situation again. »

William Saliba (M6): “It wasn't an easy game. We suffered a lot against one of the best teams in the tournament. Thanks to Mike who kept us in the game. We stayed alert and knew how to manage things. I hope we go all the way. Since the beginning of the competition, we had the opportunity to be strong. When we didn't do the job, Mike saved us. In five games, we kept four clean sheets. We didn't score many, but that will come. I didn't expect to start the Euros. The coach trusted me. I have good competition, but it's not over yet!”
