🚨Zinedine Zidane on France eliminating Paraguay from the FIFA World Cup: 🗣️ “This will be heartbreaking for Paraguay. When you come this close to taking one of the biggest teams in world football to the limit and still walk away eliminated, the pain is impossible to describe. I thought they defended with courage, they competed in every duel and they never stopped believing. They made France work for every opportunity, and for long periods they looked like a team capable of causing a major upset. These are the nights that remind you how cruel football can be. You spend months preparing, you give absolutely everything for your country, and then one moment changes your entire tournament. But I hope this group does not leave with their heads down. They have represented Paraguay with pride, discipline and character. They have shown the world that they can compete with the very best, and that is something their supporters should never forget. France move on because they found the decisive moment, but Paraguay leave this World Cup with respect. Sometimes football rewards the winner, but it also remembers the team that refused to give up. Paraguay fought until the final whistle, and they deserve enormous credit for that.”
