Posted Tuesday, June 21, 2016 by Dailystar.co.uk
The tiny nation beat Romania 1-0 on Sunday night to make it a Euros to remember.
And winger Ermir Lenjani, 26, said: "President Nishani was watching, and was straight away on the phone in the dressing room afterwards.
"He spoke to the coach, and also to Armando Sadiku about his winning goal. He congratulated all of us and told us that we had made all Albanian people all over the world very proud."
The win ensured that they finish third in the group with three points after previous defeats to France and Switzerland.
However, whether it is enough to see them through to the knockout stages remains to be seen.
Their goal difference of -2 may ultimately see them miss out on a place in the last 16.
