Turkey coach Vincenzo Montella said his team's UEFA Euro 2024 campaign has earned them respect, after they were eliminated 2-1 by the Netherlands on Saturday in the quarter-finals. They reached the last eight of a major competition for the first time since 2008 and took the lead against the Dutch in Berlin through Samet Akaydin's header, after a brilliant cross by Arda Guler. However, Stefan de Vrij levelled and Murt Muldur turned into his own net, with Netherlands progressing to the semi-finals to face England.
