Romania was also supported by a huge number of fans, the stadium was roaring. “The support was unique, we have never felt anything like that before. My siblings, my father and my wife had tears in their eyes.

I would like to thank them all and I hope we made them happy today. We have to thank everyone and I hope they celebrate. What wedid today was simply sensational,” said the Romanian, who has played for both Slavia and Sparta.
