FRANCE 3 SWITZERLAND 3 (4-5 PENS)
World champions France have been dumped out of the Euros after a penalty shootout defeat to Switzerland.
Kylian Mbappe missed the decisive spot kick as the Swiss set up a quarter-final clash with Spain.
France were leading 3-1 with ten minutes left before two late goals from Switzerland sent the game to extra time.
But with nobody able to break the deadlock, the game went to penalties and it was the Swiss who were left victorious as Yann Sommer saved Mbappe’s effort.

EXCLUSIVE BY JOSE MOURINHO
For me, England versus Germany is not a last-16 match, it is a semi-final.
Whoever wins, I cannot see them failing to make the final.
But I like this England team and now that Portugal are out, I am supporting England and I want to see Harry Kane collecting the trophy on July 11.

SOUTH OF HEAVEN
Gareth Southgate reckons England’s players can become football legends today — by lifting the whole nation with a famous win over Germany.
The Three Lions boss said: “Every time you pull an England shirt on you have the opportunity to score a goal that will be shown forever and to create a bit of skill or be involved in a match that lives on in the memory.
“That’s the beauty of playing for your country. If you think of all the big players in history, there are significant memories in club football, European football.
“But when you picture those great players, it’s normally in an international shirt that their biggest memories are formed.
“That is the case every time you pull on an England shirt. It is an opportunity that few get and these lads have earned it. I’m sure they are going to relish that.”

EXCLUSIVE BY DAVID FACEY
Fabrice Muamba hopes his remarkable recovery from a terrifying heart ordeal provides inspiration for Christian Eriksen.
Muamba said: “I just had a sick, empty feeling in the bottom of my stomach when it happened, because it was obvious he was going through the same thing as me.
“The worst part was seeing his wife on the pitch while he was being treated by the doctors and medics. It made me think about how my father was in the stands watching the game when I suffered my heart attack.
“He had to rush down to be in the ambulance with me, although of course I never knew about that until afterwards.
“I sent Christian a message on WhatsApp wishing him a full and speedy recovery and saying I am available to speak about my experiences any time he wants to reach out to me.
“I was advised not to play football again because of the stress it placed on my heart. But I hope Christian’s problem is not so bad and that he will be given the all-clear to play.”

FROM SUNSPORT’S CHARLIE WYETT
Gareth Southgate is set to revert to a three-man defence against Germany.
The England boss will look to match his opponents by playing a team reminiscent of the side which reached the World Cup semis in 2018.
Likely lineup: Pickford; Walker, Stones, Maguire; Trippier, Phillips, Rice, Shaw; Foden, Kane, Sterling

INJURY HEADACHES
Germany have been hit by a major fitness scare which has left Joachim Low fearing he will be without THREE of his key players to face England.
Manchester City star Ilkay Gundogan is a concussion doubt after feeling dizzy in training and the Germans are now fearing a non-coronavirus bug is sweeping through the squad.
Toni Rudiger has been unable to train since the 2-2 group stage draw with Hungary because of an infection, and yesterday defender Robin Gosens was struck down too.

CROCKED MONSIEURS 
Belgium could be without star men Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard for their Euro 2020 quarter-final with Italy.
The pair, both 30, suffered ankle and hamstring injuries respectively in the Red Devils’ victory over Portugal on Sunday night.
Boss Roberto Martinez said: “The initial information that we have from medical staff is positive for both, they will remain with the squad and they have no structural damage.
“But we are running up against time and it is very difficult to see them fully fit. So, we have to take it day by day to try and get them fit.”

HT – FRANCE 0 SWITZERLAND 1
World champions France are currently LOSING to the Swiss in their last-16 Euros clash.
Haris Seferovic headed his side ahead with just 15 minutes on the clock to take advantage of France’s unusual formation change.

FER REAL
Bruno Fernandes was meant to be the man to inspire Portugal to a second straight European Championship victory.
But to be blunt, the Man United ace was utterly anonymous at the tournament.
Here’s a close look at how poor Fernandes was at Euro 2020…

HOMECOMING 
Jamal Musiala admits facing England is a special feeling for him – but insists he will not struggle to send them crashing out of Euro 2020.
The Bayern Munich ace, who could have played for the Three Lions, said: “I made a conscious decision to play for Germany.
“Of course it’s no ordinary game for me. England is my second home and I had a lot of great years there, made a lot of friends and learnt a great deal.
“I don’t want to forget my time there and it’s not something you can just shrug off. It will be a special match for me.”

FT – CROATIA 3 SPAIN 5
Spain scored twice in extra time to book their place in the Euro quarter finals.
Luis Enrique’s men were 3-1 up in normal time before two late Croatia goals forced an extra half hour of football.
But quick-fire strikes from Alvaro Morata and Mike Oyarzabal saw Spain bounce back to secure victory and set up a clash against either France or Switzerland.

WALK THIS WAY
Kyle Walker is gunning for Manchester City team-mate Ilkay Gundogan and Chelsea’s German contingent.
He said: “It gives you that little bit of knowledge that you need when you’re coming up against these world-class players that they are.
“Obviously I play with Gundo at City so I know what he’s about. I know what his strengths, his weaknesses are.
“I played a lot against a lot of them in the Champions League final, so hopefully we can just go and do the nation proud.”

S-PAINFUL MOMENT
An eventful first half saw Spain score a bizarre own goal to hand Croatia the lead in their last-16 tie.
Athletic Bilbao goalie Unai Simon appeared to get a slight foot to Pedri’s back-pass as the ball sailed past him in the 20th minute.
But Pablo Sarabia fired in an equaliser in the 37th minute to restore parity.
And with at least 45 minutes left, the scores remain level at 1-1 with a place in the Euro quarters at stake.

‘I’M SURE HE KNOWS THE PLAYERS’
Marcus Rashford has backed England team-mate Jadon Sancho to make an impact against Germany.
The Man Utd-linked winger Sancho currently plays in the Bundesliga for Borussia Dourtmund.
And tomorrow he’ll be facing some familiar faces when England take on Germany at Wembley.
Rashford said: “In a way, yes, because he’s played a lot of football against them, more than the rest of us.
“I’m sure he knows the players, their characteristics, strengths and weaknesses and he’s definitely someone that can exploit them.
“If one thing doesn’t quite work we have a big opportunity to change things and adapt in the game.
“Adaptability is one of the biggest skills in football and there’s a lot of times in a game where you have to change or tweak something slightly to hurt your opponents.
“The fact that he’s played against them a lot, he’s hurt them a lot as well, it will be a big factor for us.”

RONALDO SPEAKS OUT
Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo took to Instagram after last night’s disappointing lost to Belgium.
Taking to Instagram after Portugal failed to defend their European title, he wrote: “We didn’t get the result we wanted and we left the race sooner than we wanted. 
“But we are proud of our journey, we gave everything to renew the title of European Champions and this group proved that it can still give much joy to the Portuguese.
“Our fans were tireless in supporting the team from start to finish. 
“We ran and fought for them, in order to live up to the trust they placed in us. It was not possible to get where we all wanted, but here is our sincere and profound thanks.
“Congratulations to Belgium and good luck to all the teams that remain in the competition. As for us, we will come back stronger. Force Portugal!”

CROATIA 0-0 SPAIN
6. This is far from Spain-like, however.
A ball pumped high into the Croatian penalty area is met by a wonderful leap from Ferran Torres.
He nods down for Koke in the middle, but the Atletico midfielder is unable to adjust his body in time to get a shot away.
CROATIA 0-0 SPAIN
4. Spain are taking an early grip of possession in this battle between two teams that feel equally comfortably on the ball.
CROATIA 0-0 SPAIN
2. Less than two minutes on the clock, and Gaya almost makes an immediate impression on his recall to the side.
Laporte picks the left-back out on a run into the area, and it’s only alert goalkeeping from Livakovic that cuts off the supply line..
CROATIA 0-0 SPAIN
1. With half the Parken Stadium bathed in sunshine and the other in the shadows of the stands, Spain get the latest Last 16 encounter underway.
In a tournament that has offered home advantage to so many, both of these sides find themselves away from their own arenas and their kit choice reflects that; Spain are in all white, Croatia are wearing black.
PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!WE’RE OFF IN COPENHAGEN!
HERE COME THE TEAMS!
A huge roar welcomes the two sides as they make their way out on tto the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen.
The setting and sound is glorious, and so too is the weather. Blistering sunshine beats down on the pitch, and it’s clear that changes and fresh legs could be crucial here – especially should the match extend into extra-time.
First though, it’s the formalities. Sergio Busquets and Luka Modric line their teams up, and now it’s time for the national anthems.
FAN-TASTIC FOLLOWING
Having been unable to travel to the United Kingdom for their country’s three group games, Croatia fans are back with their team today in Copenhagen and are already making the most of the occasion.
Officially, there are expected to be around 8,000 Croatian fans are the Parken stadium. Unofficially, it could be much more.

FERRAN ON FIRE
Ferran Torres made an immediate impact off the bench against Slovakia, netting a sublime backheel within seconds of his introduction, and has now been rewarded with a start against Croatia in Copenhagen.
The Manchester City forward brings pace and energy to the Spanish front three, as well as a superb scoring record at international level, averaging a goal every 90 minutes.

OLMO UP AGAINST OLD FRIENDS
Spain have a potential secret weapon on the bench, and one that knows the Croatian game very well.
Winger Dani Olmo moved to Croatia as a 16-year-old, having come through the Espanyol and Barcelona youth academies.
Able to speak the language fluently, he spent five-and-a-half years at Dinamo Zagreb before moving to RB Leipzig at the start of 2020.
The 23-year-old has as many as five former teammates in the Croatia squad, and could find himself up against any of them should he be called upon by Luis Enrique.

PEDRI SETS ROO RECORD
At 18 years and 215 days, Pedri is set to become the youngest ever player to start a knockout game at the European Championships.
Barcelona’s teenage sensation will overtake the record set by Wayne Rooney, when he represented England at 18 years and 244 days against Portugal in 2004.
Rooney, of course, was a tormentor of Croatia in the group stages of Euro 2004, a performance that launched him on to the international scene. Could Pedri also follow in that fashion this evening?

THE MOD-EL MIDFIELDER
He may be in the twilight of his career, but Croatia captain Luka Modric is once again proving himself to be one of the best midfielders in the game.
Modric became the oldest player to score for his country at the European Championships at 35 years and 286 days with his stunner against the Scots, and he also holds the record as Croatia’s youngest goalscorer in the competition.
At Euro 2008, a then 22-year-old Modric netted a fourth-minute penalty against Austria as his side made it all the way to the quarter-finals before being dramatically defeated on penalties by Turkey.
Should Modric score find the target again today, he would become the second-oldest player in European Championship history to score in consecutive appearances, behind only his former Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo. Decent company.

SPAIN SUBSTITUTES
1 De Gea, 13 Sanchez, 3 D Llorente, 4 P Torres, 6 M Llorente, 9 Moreno, 10 Thiago, 16 Rodri, 17 Ruiz, 18 Alba, 19 Olmo, 21 Oyarzabal
SPAIN XI
Luis Enrique makes two changes to the Spain side that thumped Slovakia last time out. Misfiring forward Alvaro Morata keeps his place up front, but Gerard Moreno is replaced by Ferran Torres; the Manchester City’s man inclusion is likely to see Pablo Sarrabia switch to the left side of attack. Elsewhere, Jose Gaya is preferred at left-back to 32-year-old Jordi Alba in what is likely a case of fresh legs. The midfield three of Koke, Pedri and captain Sergio Busquets remain the same as Enrique continues with his 4-3-3 formation.
23 Simon; 2 Azpilicueta, 12 Eric Garcia, 24 Laporte, 14 Gaya; 8 Koke, 5 Busquets, 26 Pedri; 11 F Torres, 7 Morata, 22 Sarabia

CROATIA SUBSTITUTES
12 Kalinic, 23 Sluga, 2 Vrsaljko, 7 Brekalo, 9 Kramaric, 14 Budimir, 15 Pasalic, 16 Skoric, 18 Orsic, 19 Badelj, 24 Bradaric, 26 Ivanusec
CROATIA XI
Zlatko Dalic makes two enforced changes to the team that swept aside Scotland at Hampden Park. Dejan Lovren is suspended so Duje Caleta-Car comes into the centre of defence alongside Domagoj Vida while up front, Ante Rebic replaces Ivan Perisic, who has tested positive for Covid-19. The Croatians match up with Spain’s 4-3-3 with a midfield featuring captain Luka Modric, Chelsea’s Mateo Kovacic and Inter Milan’s Marcelo Brozovic. Up front, Bruno Petkovic plays through the middle with support on either side from Rebic and Nikola Vlasic.
1 Livakovic; 22 Juranovic, 21 Vida, 5 Caleta-Car, 25 Gvardiol; 10 Modric, 11 Brozovic, 8 Kovacic; 13 Vlasic, 20 Petkovic, 17 Rebic

THE TEAMSHEETS ARE IN!
LAST TIME OUT
It was a five-star performance from Spain as they saw off Slovakia – with a little help from Martin Dubravka.
The Newcastle keeper had a mare between the sticks, going from hero to zero after saving Alvaro Morata’s spot-kick.
Dubravka scored the tournament’s most shocking own goal and it was his error that led to Aymeric Laporte’s header in the dying moments of the first half.
Pablo Sarabia sealed the win soon after before Ferran Torres’ beautiful backheel and Juraj Kucka’s own goal sent Spain through to today’s clash in sunny Copenhagen.

EARLY TEAM NEWS
Spain have no fresh injury worries, with Villarreal goal-machine Gerard Moreno hoping to start up-top.
Thiago Alcantara impressed off the bench against Slovakia, but might not have done enough to force his way into the starting XI.
Despite being poor from the penalty spot in this tournament, Alvaro Morata is set to start.
Ante Rebic is set to replace Perisic for Croatia, who may otherwise name an unchanged XI from the win over Scotland.

HEAD TO HEAD
There’s been some classic tournament clashes between these two nations down the years.
And just check out some of the names on this list.
With no Perisic, Ante Rebic and Luka Modric will have to be at their majestic best this evening.

NO IVAN
The Croatians have been dealt a huge blow with the news that Ivan Perisic is out.
After two goals in the group stages, he was set to play a key part today in Copenhagen.
But Perisic is isolating after testing positive for Covid-19.
The Croatia FA explained: “Perisic will spend 10 days in self-isolation and in that period he will not compete for the matches of the Croatian national team.
“All other national team members, staff members and delegations are negative.”

HOW’S STAT?
Croatia took a bit of time to get going in the tournament, but really found their stride against Scotland.
That 3-1 win saw them easily into third-place and into the last-16, where they will be a dangerous proposition today.
Remember though, top scorer Ivan Perisic is OUT. More on that later…

FAN POWER
It might be drizzly on our shores today, but over in Copenhagen it’s baking hot.
26c pitch-side and the Croatian fans are making the most of it – expect a lively atmosphere in the Parken Stadium.

HERE WE CRO
Croatia are taking on Spain in a Euro 2020 last 16 match between two teams who have yet to play to their potential.
The Croats underwhelmed in games against England and the Czech Republic before rescuing themselves when a brilliant Luka Modric strike helped them to a 3-1 win over Scotland at Hampden Park.
And Spain had been dogged by problems up front with main man Alvaro Morata failing to fire in draws at home to Sweden and Poland.
But they did give some indication of what they were capable with in a 5-0 win over Slovakia to go through in second place in Group E.
Both sides will be happy to be heading to Copenhagen for the last 16 for different reasons.
Croatia will be followed by around 8000 of their supporters today after none were allowed to travel to the UK for the group stage.
And Spain will lose home advantage but be happy to get away from a dry pitch in Seville which was heavily criticised by boss Luis Enrique.
The Spaniards will enter this game as slight favourites but are taking on a team who know very well how to beat them.
Croatia triumphed over Spain 2-1 in the group stage at Euro 2016 and again in the Nations League in 2018, when they ran out 3-2 winners.
Kick-off is at 5pm in Copenhagen and the countdown is on…

France are enduring a crisis with injuries with Ousmane Dembele out for the rest of the competition, writes SANDRA BROBBEY. 
And the team are sweating on the fitness of Lucas Digne, 27, after the Everton left-back was forced to withdraw from his side’s clash with Portugal due to a thigh-strain. 
Deschamps may have to turn to Adrien Rabiot, 26, as an emergency full-back alternative to Digne if Lucas Hernandez fails to recover from a knee injury.  
However PSG star Rabiot has been contending with an ankle problem. 
And it remains to be seen if Marcus Thuram, 23, and Thomas Lemar, 25, will be available with both picking up knocks in training ahead of this evening’s game. 
It is reported Thuram hurt his thigh while Lemar suffered a leg injury.

TEAM NEWS: CROATIA VS SPAIN
Reports claim Josko Gvardiol, 19, could be a doubt for his side’s knockout battle with Spain, writes SANDRA BROBBEY. 
The rising star left-back appeared to hurt his shin during Croatia’s win against Scotland and was substituted around the 70th minute of that match. 
Meanwhile, midfield lynchpin Sergio Busquets, 32, is in line to start for Spain following his heroics against Slovakia. 
The Barcelona veteran put in a man-of-the-match performance last time out despite picking up a knock 
It is reported Cesar Azpilicueta is likely to retain his place at right-back. 
And it is thought Morata will keep his spot in Spain’s starting line-up with the forward reportedly having the full backing of boss Enrique. 
Meanwhile, Croatia are likely to retain a similar line-up to the team that beat Scotland with Luka Modric, Marcelo Brozovic and Mateo Kovacic lining up in a midfield three.
The game is due to get underway at 5pm!

BEST FRIENDS
West Ham’s Declan Rice has revealed that best friend Mason Mount is bored in isolation.
The Chelsea star was forced to isolate alongside fellow Blues team-mate Ben Chilwell after the pair spent time in the tunnel speaking to Billy Gilmour – who later tested positive for Covid-19 – after the England-Scotland game.
Speaking to Love Island star and presenter Josh Denzel, Rice said: “It’s been tough for me to be fair, not being able to see Mase [Mount].
“But I’m sure now after the next couple of days he’ll be out and he’ll be training again.
“I’ve spoken to Mase [Mount] a couple of times on FaceTime, he’s alright, I think he’s just bored.
“But yeah he’s sweet we’ve been talking and yeah hopefully, like I said, we can see him in the next couple of days.”

KNOCKOUT STAGES
Belgium will face Italy after beating defending champions Portugal 1-0 last night.
And Denmark will play the Czech Republic, after the Czechs pulled off a shock victory against the Netherlands.

EURO 2020 LATEST
Kieran Trippier and Phil Foden are being tipped for recalls against Germany – as England’s possible route to the final seemed to get easier.
Tomorrow night’s Wembley winners will take on Sweden or Ukraine in the quarter-finals, with the Czech Republic or Denmark possible last-four opponents. 
That’s because the Czechs pulled off the biggest shock of the Euros so far, punishing Holland defender Matthijs de Ligt’s straight red card on 55 minutes with a 2-0 win yesterday.
Tomas Holes headed a 68th-minute opener before teeing up Patrik Schick’s clincher.
And Belgium midfielder Thorgan Hazard’s dipping stunner just before half-time saw off Portugal 1-0, amid speculation it might be legend Cristiano Ronaldo’s last game at a major international tournament.
Meanwhile, Three Lions’ boss Gareth Southgate has admitted Mason Mount and Ben Chilwell might be omitted against the Germans.
Southgate worries the duo might be suffering “psychological” effects from their self-isolation following Chelsea team-mate Billy Gilmour’s positive Covid-19 test.
Inter Milan superstar Ivan Perisic misses Croatia’s clash with Spain at 5pm tonight after being found to have coronavirus.
And at 8pm Group F winners France take on Switzerland, who finished third behind Wales in qualifying from Group A.
HURST: BEAT GERMANY AND WIN EUROS
England legend Sir Geoff Hurst told Gareth Southgate’s young lions: “Beat Germany and you’ll go on and win it!”
The hero, whose hat-trick conquered our old foe in 1966, lined up with The Sun’s mascot Harry Mane — and also had advice for England’s star striker.

He said: “There’s nothing quite like an England versus Germany game at Wembley and the hairs still stand up on the back of my neck every time it happens.
“It’s a massive, massive game — one of those do-or-die occasions which will produce moments we’ll never forget.
“German teams never give up and we have a hell of a fight on our hands. But this time it’s a fight we can win — and once we clear this obstacle it’ll take a hell of a team to stop us.”
A win tomorrow will send England to Rome for a quarter-final with Sweden or Ukraine. Another victory would tee up a semi-final back at Wembley against either Denmark or Czech Republic.
PAY JUDE
Jude Bellingham will be celebrating on Tuesday regardless of the result at Wembley.
On the day England look to overcome Germany in the last-16 at Wembley, Bellingham turns 18.
And on this special birthday he will also have his contract at Borussia Dortmund extended by a further two years until 2025.
It is remarkable that Bellingham, who played 36 times for Dortmund last season, is already preparing for what would be his seventh senior cap tomorrow.
Over in Germany, there has been much discussion over Gareth Southgate’s refusal to give Bundesliga golden boy Jadon Sancho a single minute until the dying stages of their final  group match.
In contrast, Bellingham has already made two appearances as a substitute and is likely to play some part against the Germans tomorrow.
SHAW: JOSE OBSESSED WITH ME
Luke Shaw has accused his ex-Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho of being obsessed with him.
The England defender, preparing for Tuesday’s Euro 2020 last-16 clash with Germany, is stunned he is still being criticised by his former boss at Manchester United.
Mourinho criticised Shaw for his “dramatically bad” and “poor” set-pieces in the 1-0 win over Czech Republic.
Shaw, 25, said: “There is no hiding that we didn’t get on. It is time to move on. I am trying to move on but, obviously, he can’t.
“Hopefully he can find his peace with that and finally move and stop worrying about me. Clearly I am in his head a lot and he clearly thinks about me a lot.
“I don’t really understand it, to be honest. I don’t know why he is still going on and wanting to point at me. I don’t feel like the set pieces were as bad as he was saying.
“Look, he has got to do his job. He has got his opinion. I am used to him saying negative stuff about me now, so I just pass it by.
“I leave it be, I ignore it. I just focus on what the coaching staff say here, what Gareth says and that’s that, really.”
TRIPPIER, FODEN AND MOUNT TIPPED TO START
Roy Keane expects Gareth Southgate to recall Kieran Trippier, Phil Foden and Mason Mount for Tuesday’s showdown with Germany.
Joachim Low’s side travel to Wembley for the 5pm kick-off and Keane believes England will trust their regular starters.
All three started in the win over Croatia that opened the Three Lions’ tournament.
He told ITV: “Maybe with Maguire that’ll be the only change, and go back to the first game against Croatia.
“We’re on about these young players doing very well in the last one or two games.
“But Gareth, as the manager, you still go back to the lads who got you over the line over the last year or two.
“So it wouldn’t surprise me if Gareth went back to the team, obviously with Maguire available, for the first game against Croatia.
“There’s question marks about maybe Trippier coming back in. The set-piece delivery has been really poor, maybe they go back to Trippier for that.”
