After the game, Gonzalo expressed his happiness and pride in the team's performance. "Coming off the field to a standing ovation is an incredible feeling," he said. "I felt a great deal of emotion and joy. I'm delighted with the goal, but I'm even happier with the victory and the way the team worked together. We fought until the end and I'm pleased to have made it to the quarter-finals."

Gonzalo also shared his thoughts on the goal he scored. "I saw Trent's great pass from the wing and I saw (Toni) Rüdiger couldn't reach it. I said to myself, 'This is mine,' and I threw myself at the ball. It doesn't matter if I scored it with my head, my knee, or whatever. I'll remember the joy I felt at that moment and scoring another goal with this shirt. I'm delighted."

When asked about his performance in the tournament, Gonzalo emphasized the importance of teamwork. "I'm very pleased with the three goals and the assist, but it's not worth anything. The most important thing is that as a team we've shown great attitude and hard work. This is what gave us the victory and the passage to the quarter-finals."

Gonzalo has been compared to Real Madrid legend Raul by coach Xabi Alonso. Gonzalo considered this a great compliment, saying, "It's a great compliment. For me, it's really something special. I had the opportunity to learn from him during our time together as coach, and he taught me a lot. To be compared to him is beyond flattering."
