Welsh youngster talks about atmosphere
Brennan Johnson spoke about the feeling at the final whistle against Ukraine:
It's going to be a hard week to top and it probably hasn't sunk in yet. The scenes at the end against Ukraine were unbelievable. When I came on I just wanted to affect the game as much as I could. It means a lot to me as the …World Cup is another level. We want to be a part of it alongside these elite teams and we can do that.
You watch the World Cup growing up and I can't believe we've made it. The thought of being on that plane is really exciting. Seeing what it means to the fans and so to take them to World Cup is really special. It was such a good moment to be on the pitch with them at the final whistle.
