The following is reaction to Türkiye's 3-1 victory over debutants Georgia in Euro 2024 Group F on Monday, with goals from Mert Müldür, teenager Arda Güler and Kerem Aktürkoğlu.
Türkiye midfielder and man of the match Arda Güler: "I am just thrilled, no words to describe how I feel. I was dreaming of this goal constantly. I am working extra hard to give back to the amazing love I've been receiving.
"I've been practising this particular shot recently at the end of training sessions. I am so happy to have scored this way. (Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti) messaged me earlier today and wished me luck."
Türkiye forward Kerem Aktürkoğlu: "We dreamed of starting with a win. We knew we were coming to a great atmosphere, playing like we're at home.
"This is a great start but we're just beginning. We had never started with a win at the Euros. This is historic for us. We need to stay grounded if we want this victory to mean something. It will only mean something if we can continue this way.
"I thought (Güler) would score that one as soon as Arda touched that ball. Mashallah, mashallah,"
