Whisper it quietly, but could Germany be exactly what England need at Euro 2020?

The Three Lions will face one of their oldest rivals in the last-16 of the tournament after Leon Goretzka saved the Germans, who twice went behind against Hungary before the midfielder’s late goal salvaged a crucial draw in Munich on Wednesday night.

The point saw them finish second behind France in Group F and set them on course for Wembley on Tuesday.
