Georgian national football team coach Willy Sagnol commented on the fact that the team reached the playoffs of the European Championship for the first time in history. His words are quoted on the website of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA).
“When you’re a small team, you know you have nothing to lose. The only thing we said before the start of the tournament was not to regret not playing our football,” said Sagnol. He added that the players wanted to make Georgia proud of them with their play.
In the third match of the Euro 2024 group stage, the Georgian team defeated the Portuguese team with a score of 2:0. In the second minute, striker Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored. In the 57th minute, forward Georges Mikautadze converted a penalty.
