Switzerland midfielder Ruben Vargas admitted he was overwhelmed after helping his side book a place in the quarter-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Swiss advanced after edging Colombia in a dramatic Round of 16 encounter that finished goalless before they prevailed 4-3 in a penalty shootout. Vargas sealed the victory by converting the decisive spot kick, sending Switzerland into the last eight for the first time in the modern era.
The achievement is particularly remarkable given that the 27-year-old had been considered doubtful before the match. Vargas was forced to leave training early in the lead-up to the knockout clash, raising concerns over his fitness, but he recovered in time to make a decisive contribution.
Switzerland will now face Argentina in the quarter-finals on July 11 as they continue their impressive World Cup campaign.
