'It will be over for Julian Nagelsmann'

Look, in a way this has been coming. Germany has been poor.

To be honest, if I want to be cynical and sarcastic, all we would have earned is a right to get absolutely destroyed by France.

Of course, we will never know. I think it will be over for Julian Nagelsmann, I am afraid.

'Not a good feeling to disappoint again'

FT: Germany 1-1 Paraguay (3-4 pens)

Germany

Germany forward Kai Havertz: "I don't have much to say. This is now my second World Cup and we've missed moving onto the next round twice now in a row. I want to apologise for that. We are all very disappointed. We had many plans for this year's World Cup. It is not a very good feeling to disappoint again. The team tried a lot.

"One goal was disallowed. We had a very strong opponent; it was difficult to create chances and keep the pace. The Paraguayan team defended very deep and it was difficult to run for a long time. We tried to move over the flanks but unfortunately, it didn't really work out. I don't think we deserved to win this time.

"I don't think we allowed many chances. We were on the ball, in the momentum, especially after the equaliser. We ended up in the shootout. It wasn't easy because I missed that penalty kick and it's a 50/50 chance.

"During the tournament, you really have to give it your all. I don't think we played bad football, but something was always missing and that was the case today as well. As players, we need to look at ourselves and what we can do better. We play for such a big football nation. If you get eliminated early, you don't deserve to stay."

'Nagelsmann has to face consequences'

Arne Friedrich

Former Germany defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

On expecting this to be the end of Julian Nagelsmann's tenure...

Yes. That is pretty sure I guess.

First of all, congratulations to Paraguay and impressive performance from their end and, if you consider the whole tournament the way that we played, it is a deserved loss today as well.

The way we played the whole tournament was not enough. Nagelsmann has to face consequences.

It is very disappointing, but that is sport. I would definitely say the journey continues without Nagelsmann.

'We dedicate this to all the people of Paraguay'

Paraguay

Paraguay defender Gustavo Gomez: "I think that what we are feeling right now is really hard to explain. I am really proud of my colleagues, of the team. We deserved one more game and to be honest.

"I think, considering everything that was said, everything we went through, what I want to highlight from my team is how united we are. We are incredibly strong.

"Today was a game where we needed to show our true colours as the Paraguayan team. Germany knew it would be really hard for them. They knew we would fight not to be defeated. We dedicate this to all the people of Paraguay."
