Germany could not make it to the semi-final of Euro 2020 after they were defeated by England in the Round of 16 on June 29. The German side were not able to score any goals while the England side scored two. This is also the first time that Germany have lost a knockout competition since 1966 against England. The team’s performance in the tournament was anyway not up to the mark as they were only able to win one out of the four matches that were being played. It must be mentioned that the team only managed to score seven goals in the entire series.

The footballer also wrote how he is also pained to have disappointed his coach, team mates and above all, his fans from Germany. The 31-year-oldmentioned how this is the feeling which has got stuck with him and has been keeping him awake at night. In a part of the post, he added that it is for such moments that a person trains, works and lives for.
