Pauleta, former Paris and Portugal striker
To see Portugal play at the Parc des Princes is simply amazing for me! It will be very special – something I was hoping for. For all the Portuguese supporters who live in Paris and the region, it's going to be awesome, especially with the draw being favourable. Our opponents [Austria] will not be easy, but it's always better than playing against countries who are used to reaching the last four.
