Germany is a traditional strong team in the European Cup. They won the European Cup three times, respectively in 1972, 1980 and 1996. They were also the semi-final team of the last European Cup and lost to France in the end. Germany's strength should not be underestimated. They have a group of excellent players, such as Neuer, Cross, Gnabri, Havetz, Muller, etc. Their lineup is very balanced and strong. Their tactics are also very flexible and changeable. They can play a role in different systems and styles. They are a team full of fighting spirit and confidence.
Germany also performed very well in the qualifiers. They won 7 and lost 1 in 8 games, ranking first in the group with 25 points. Their goals were 30, their goals were 7, and their goal difference was 23. Germany's only defeat was a 0-6 defeat to Spain in the away game, which was their worst defeat since 1931. It was also the first time that they had lost six goals in an official match since 1958. This game severely damaged Germany's morale and confidence, and also exposed their defensive problems.
