In post match quotes reported by the BBC, Spain midfielder and Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas spoke of his pleasure in having beaten Paraguay, but made sure to emphasise that Spain had not yet achieved their goals.
“It feels good, but there's nothing done yet,” the Arsenal captain started. “We know that getting into a semi-final is nothing at the end of the day if you don't reach the final. We are happy because it was a difficult game, but we just want to improve and get into the final.”
With respect to their chances against Germany, Fabregas was cautiously optimistic. "We watched the game tonight and they played really well. It will be very difficult because I think they are definitely one of the best teams of the tournament. We just have to play our best and be very positive if we want to beat them.”
