Ramsey gutted to miss Wales semi-final

Richard added: “If Wales carry on playing like they’ve been playing there is no reason they can’t go on to the final and play their hearts out there”.

Aaron Ramsey has matched Gareth Bale for high-class play and a team-first ethic during Wales’ magical advance to the semifinals of the European Championship.

Wales face Portugal in the semi-final next Wednesday in Lyon in a clash that will pit Gareth Bale against his Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ashley Williams levelled the score at 1-1 before Robson-Kanu – amazingly without a club – sent supporters into raptures with a goal Dutch master Johan Cryuff would be proud of. As a back three or as a team we will look to overcome that challenge.

“We know they’re a very good side with a lot of talented individuals but we showed what a true team we are”.

The After Dark panel breakdown Wales’ massive upset over Belgium and if the “golden generation” of Belgium can still succeed.

Belgium, ranked second in the world, took the lead through Radja Nainggolan but lost 3-1 as Ashley Williams, Hal Robson-Kanu and Sam Vokes struck for Wales.

Injuries and a suspension forced Belgium coach Marc Wilmots to start Friday’s quarter-final with Jason Denayer at centre back and the inexperienced 21-year-old had the sort of horror night that is likely to haunt him for the rest of his career.

Other Wales players talked about how emotional the dressing room was after the Belgium game, and manager Chris Coleman spoke of his sympathy for the suspended duo.

Fromer England great Gary Lineker named Wales “sensationally good” and The Guardian spoke of “a night that will surely go down as their (Wales) finest on a football field”.

“It’s a great example by everybody – my staff and my players – that if you believe, work hard enough and have talent, of course, you can find yourself in an incredible position”.

“Aaron has been one of the best players of the tournament. We have had some great moments with him, some super moments with him”, Hazard said.

“This was an opportunity we may not get again”, he told reporters after the game. “It’s sweet and I’m enjoying it”.

Next Wednesday Wales will attempt to become the first British nation since England in 1966 to reach the final of a major worldwide tournament.

Wales turned things around after seeming to be outplayed in the first half of what was nearly a home game for Belgium just six miles from its border. We played very well tonight and I think we deserved the win. “I’m sure the players who step in will perform”.
