England will be out to banish memories of Euro 96 disappointment when they welcome Germany to Wembley in Tuesday’s Euro 2020 last 16 clash.
Gareth Southgate has a particularly bad memory of the last time these sides met in the European Championship knockout stages, famously missing a penalty in the semi-final defeat 25 years ago.
