Portugal defeated Croatia 2-1 in the World Cup Round of 16, and Gonçalo Ramos spoke to Fox Sports after the match.

Congratulations on advancing to the Round of 16, and thank you for that wonderful goal.

"Thank you very much. It's a very special feeling to be able to help the team and score such a crucial goal."

Today is also a special day – the anniversary of Jota's passing. How much did you and the team miss him today?

"We miss him every day. Winning this game today makes it even more special; he gives us strength every day and every match."

It was a tough battle, especially towards the end. What was going through your mind when Croatia almost equalized?

"If I only think about the end of the game now, all I can say is that I was too tired, I was falling apart. Luckily, we won in the end and didn't have to play extra time."

Next, you will face Spain. How confident are you and the team currently?

"We are very confident. If we want to reach the final, we have to face and defeat the strongest teams in these most crucial matches. So, we are ready for anything."
