France hero Antoine Griezmann hailed a "group effort" after his two goals saw off Germany and put France into the Euro 2016 final.
The Atletico Madrid striker fired Didier Deschamps' side in front from the penalty spot in the closing seconds of a first half in which they had been under pressure.
And he wrapped up a memorable night for the hosts when he steered the ball home after Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer had flapped at a cross from Paul Pogba.
But Griezmann, who had missed a penalty as Atletico lost the Champions League final to Real Madrid in May, told reporters that the praise should be shared around.
"It's a whole group effort," he said. "It's thanks to the group that we're in the final, and we're going to make the most of tonight.
"I'm very pleased. We knew it would be very tough and we held firm defensively. Our keeper played very well.
"I missed my penalty in the Champions League final, and I really wanted to make sure I put this one in the back of the net tonight. I'm pleased to have taken that decision, and to have scored.
"For the second goal, I was just lurking to see if there was a mistake from the goalkeeper, it dropped to my feet and I was delighted."
Griezmann said France now needed "to rest up well and start thinking about the final."
"We're very happy. We can start dreaming of July 10," he said. "We have to keep our feet on the ground, there's still a match to go. We're going to enjoy tonight but tomorrow we'll prepare for the final. We're delighted.
"Both before and during the game it was great with our fans - let's hope we can relive that in the final."
Griezmann said he saw it as his "duty" to prevent the Euro trophy from leaving France.
"There's still one match to go to finish with a flourish; it's going to be very tricky but I hope this won't be the end of things," he said.
"It's our duty to win matches for the French public, and let's hope we can finish on a high too."
However, the striker would not pick a favourite for the final.
"We will start training for it tomorrow," he added. "Against Portugal, it's 50-50. Anything can happen in a final -- it's a one-off game."
The goals took Griezmann's tally for the tournament to six -- three behind the record for a European Championship, set by his countryman Michel Platini in 1984.
But he said: "I'm still very far off Platini."
Griezmann's strike partner Olivier Giroud said it had been "an emotional night" and added: "Antoine Griezmann has grown as this tournament has gone on. I'm delighted for him, and he gives us a bit extra.
"I'd really like to write a chapter in history. Everyone wants to achieve something great in the final on Sunday."
