England 2 Germany 0 LIVE REACTION: Sterling and Kane the Three Lions heroes as Southgate’s men into Euro 2020 quarters

EXCLUSIVE FROM JOSE MOURINHO

I’m packing my bags for Rome and singing ‘It’s Coming Home’.

England are ready for everything and I will be really disappointed if they don’t get to the final.

But I still think the Three Lions need to learn what Harry Kane wants and needs.

He has so much more to offer his country.

QUARTER POUNDER

England will face Ukraine in the Euro 2020 quarter finals after a dramatic finish at Hampden Park.

Artem Dovbyk scored a winner for Andriy Shevchenko’s men in the final minutes of extra time, sparking wild scenes of jubilation.

The game was moments away from going to a dreaded penalty shoot out.

But it will be Ukraine taking on Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions in Saturday’s 8pm clash in Rome.

HE’S A KEEPER

Harry Maguire paid tribute to Jordan Pickford for dealing with being the most scrutinised keeper in world football.

The England defender said: “We have excellent defenders and a magnificent goalkeeper behind us, who every time he has put on the shirt for England he has been magnificent.

“Probably the goalkeeping No1 spot for England is the most scrutinised position in world football.”

CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES

England stars, football legends and celebrities have taken to Twitter after the Three Lions’ triumph over Germany at Euro 2020.

The likes of Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand, Gary Lineker and Piers Morgan all took to social media to express their delight at the brilliant result.

MULLERED IT

Germany fans were left head in hands after prematurely celebrating Thomas Muller’s miss against England.

For England supporters, it was a heart in mouth moment as Raheem Sterling’s wayward pass put through Muller.

But the German legend, who has NEVER scored in the Euros, dragged his effort wide as the Three Lions breathed a sigh of relief.

TASTE OF DEFEAT

Germany boss Joachim Low sent fans into hysterics after he appeared to pick his nose AGAIN on live TV during England’s 2-0 win.

The 61-year-old has become well known for his ‘scratch and sniff’ touchline antics during major tournaments.

And in his last game as Germany boss, Low added one final image to live in the memory and join his illustrious collection.

COLD AS RICE

Declan Rice says England have proven their doubters wrong after delivering under pressure to bet Germany.

The West Ham ace beamed: “It’s incredible. A lot of people, if you have looked at the group stage games, had written us off, complaints about the performances, not scoring enough goals

“You read a load of things but as players you put to the back of your mind and want to prove people wrong

“Today with a full house everyone had that fire in the belly to go out there and for one, knock Germany out of the tournament and, two, for us to progress to the next round.”

PICK OF THE BUNCH

Jordan Pickford says the rocking atmosphere at Wembley have given England all the incentive they need to win their quarter-final on Saturday.

He said: “We’ve had the opportunity to play four games at Wembley and the atmosphere of 45,000 fans today was amazing.

“I think that just gives us the desire on Saturday against Sweden or Ukraine, it is another opportunity to come back to Wembley.

“Come Saturday we will be prepared for what they put up against us.”

THE HEAT IS ON

Another mammoth effort from England’s defence.

The Three Lions are yet to concede at Euro 2020, and will be looking for another clean sheet in the quarters.

AND THEN THERE WERE EIGHT

England are the second-last team to reach the Euro quarters.

They will play the winner of tonight’s clash between Ukraine and Sweden.

But who else has made the last eight?

GREAL DEAL

Jack Grealish admits he ‘loved’ beating Germany after a great cameo from the bench.

The Aston Villa captain said: “I loved it. It’s always nice when the fans are calling your name but it’s not about me, it’s about the team.

“I came on and just tried to create. I came on and played a part in the first goal and got the assist for the second so I think it was a good performance from myself.

“Even though at the start I was slipping all over the place actually but it ended well.”

ROME IS WHERE THE HEART IS

Can Three Lions fans travel to Rome for the quarters?

Can England fans already in Italy go to the game at all?

And what about quarantine rules?

WE’VE GOT THE ANSWERS HERE

HIGHLIGHTS

Let’s relive those fantastic scenes at full time.

Just a reminder – it’s England’s FIRST knockout win against the Germans in 55 years!

MAN MOUNTAIN

Rice and Phillips were outstanding.

RACE FOR FITNESS

Maguire went on to describe his battle to get back to full fitness and the toll it took on him.

He said: “It’s been a tough couple of months for myself.

“To miss the Europa League final with Manchester United and then have doubts over what game and whether I’d be fit for the Euros.

“Full credit to all the medical staff at Manchester United and England  to get me ready and available for the last game and this one.

“I feel good, I was tired in the second half but it’s expected.

“I haven’t trained that much and I haven’t played football for seven weeks so I’m sure I’ll get better, I’ll keep improving and keep getting my fitness to where it should be.

“As a player and team, we are feeling good.”

CLEAN SHEET

England defensive rock Harry Maguire explained how important keeping a clean sheet was.

He said: “We have excellent defenders in this country. Sometimes with all the scrutiny that the Premier League gets, every goal gets analysed and people pick up on the little slightest things.

“But we have excellent defenders and a magnificent goalkeeper behind us, who everytime he has put on the shirt for England he has been magnificent.

“Probably the goalkeeping No1 spot for England is the most scrutinised position in world football.

“We have excellent players but it’s not just us defenders or the keeper, it’s a unit, a base, it comes from Gareth and the way he sets us up. Of course, the forward lads in terms of the way they press.

“How many times have you seen Raheem come back and tackle the full back and centre back today was incredible.

“It starts from the front and finishes with us.

“Keeping clean sheets is always nice and a big bonus for us defenders but the main thing is winning football matches.

STAT ATTACK

Sterling continued his scoring streak in front of goal.

SOUTHGATE ON TACTICAL SWITCH

England manager explained the tactical switch after the game: “You know you change the shape, you pick certain personnel in place of others and if it goes wrong you’re dead.

“We had to go about it in the way we believed. We wanted aggressive pressure all over the field and we felt that to match them up was the right way of doing that.

“We felt that speed in behind Harry would cause them problems. I thought that Bukayo [Saka] and Raheem [Sterling] really created that jeopardy in behind their backline right from the start.

“We also defended brilliantly and our goalkeeper was immense. It was a tremendous performance.”

SOUTHGATE’S REDEMPTION

Twenty-five years on……… he got his redemption.

RAHEEM THE DREAM

Raheem Sterling continues to perform at Euro 2020 and he got his third goal of the tournament.

WEMBLEY ERRUPTS

Lineker and co reacting to the goals.

IT’S COMING ROME

Boris Johnson enjoyed Kane’s second!

MORE RICE

Here’s what Rice had to say on England progressing to the quarter-finals: “We don’t want to get too ahead of ourselves because Saturday is a massive game as well now.

“We travel to Rome, we want to win that and progress into the semi-finals.

“But all I can say about today is the occasion, the fans, the players, how we were up for it in the changing room… 

“I’ve not been part of a team with togetherness like this.

“We’re all in it with each other and we really believe we have the quality and we really believe with the tournament pretty much being at Wembley we can keep progressing.”

KANE SPEAKS

Captain Kane gave his post-match assessment.

ROAD TO WEMBLEY

England will play either Sweden or Ukraine in Rome!
