Ahead of the FIFA World Cup round of 16 match against Germany, Paraguay captain G. Gómez spoke to VS Sports.

"Football has given me so many unforgettable moments, and I'm very grateful for that. I tell my teammates to enjoy the game. Every match is difficult, and we've been given another opportunity to play. Our opponent is a strong rival, which motivates us. Now we must train hard, and tomorrow we have to give everything to make history and advance in this tournament."

"We're enjoying this FIFA World Cup—it's an incredible gift from football. Looking back two years to our Copa América group stage exit, what we've achieved now is remarkable. We want to defend Paraguay's honour, we want to play exciting football, and we're committed to giving our all in every aspect. From the Copa América to now, everything we've accomplished has helped us progress significantly as a team and as individual players."
