“Gustav Lundgren was praised by teammates for his performance after coming on against Poland.”

“This was fate. Feels like it was written.”

“It feels completely incredible. It just feels like fate that we would win.”

“Yes, absolutely. It feels like it's a fairy tale. For the whole of Sweden but also if I think just about myself. About how it was four years ago and just that I played in Poland then. I have that connection. Now it became a match again. It really feels like it was written, that we would win.”

“It made me calm in some way. That I could trust fate.”

“It was terrible. As soon as I was substituted I got a stomach ache. I couldn't sit still. It was terrible.”

“I think it was unreal. I shouldn't say anything, but... if it had been against any other player (than Robert Lewandowski) I don't think it would have been a yellow card.”

“I think so. But it's understandable in a way.”

“I feel it is fate that Sweden is facing Poland again in a decisive playoff match.”

“I feel it is fate to play Poland again, this time at home, and it will be fun to prepare with the Swedish people.”
