7 July: Nagelsmann on moving forward

"Put it behind us, have a good [World Cup] qualification campaign. A gold cup in the collection would also be nice."

vs

7 July: Nagelsmann on a future squad

"We won't be making any major changes to the squad. We have a stock 27-28 players who can play the World Cup. We've put together a good squad with the coaching team with a lot of decisions and will only change nuances if everyone continues to perform like this. I don't see anyone in danger of dropping off in the next year or two."

7 July: Völler: "The team has managed to awaken this euphoria in Germany"

Rudi Völler also commented: "The team has managed to awaken this euphoria in Germany, which was almost unimaginable in previous weeks and months. It was also something special for me as an old hand. It was unique, it got under your skin. It was our goal and our dream a few months ago."

vs

7 July: Emotional Nagelsmann

At a final press conference at this tournament, an emotional Julian Nagelsmann found some concluding words: "We managed to unite the fans. I hope we also manage to have that symbiosis in far more important areas. I've been told that it wasn't often that the players had tears in their eyes when they left the camp."

7 July: Players depart

Less than 24 hours since being knocked out by Spain, the first players have departed Germany's base camp in Herzogenaurach.

6 July: Nagelsmann addresses late penalty appeal

"Rudi and Sandro asked the referee afterwards. We don't know if it was offside. I have received conflicting information why he didn't take a look at it on VAR. It is pointless talking about it. I would like a referee to examine those kind of situations more often, then there is less to complain about. If they stick with it, then that's their decision. I can rule out the hand being too close to the body, as it definitely wasn't. We won't get a replay, so we have to put it behind us and do well in qualifying. We have another trophy to play for."

vs

6 July: Rudi Völler praise

The director of the German national team said: "The team managed to awaken a euphoria in Germany that was almost impossible to imagine a few weeks or months ago. As an old hand, it was something special for me. It was unique and you could really sense it all. It was our aim and dream a few months ago."

vs

6 July: Check-out time

There were some sad scenes at Germany's tournament base this morning as some players checked out after their immense efforts against Spain in the quarter-final were not enough to win.

vs

5 July: Kimmich voices pride

"The last six weeks were really special. We had an unbelievable team spirit, even among the boys who didn't always play. Getting knocked out was different to recent tournaments. We didn't play well enough in those and weren't a team, but today that was very different. We were definitely the better team against a good Spain side."

vs

1 July: Kimmich wary of Spain challenge

"Spain have looked the most solid side, so it'll be tough - for both sides," said Germany's right-back ahead of Friday's quarter-final in Stuttgart, near where he was born. "But if you want to win the tournament, then you have to get past Spain."

30 June: Recovery training for German stars

There are five days until Germany's quarter-final on 5 July, but Julian Nagelsmann had his players active on Sunday working off the strain of the battling win over Denmark.

vs

29 June: Kimmich thanks fans

"There was a lot going on, we scored an early goal, and I didn't know if it would be disallowed. The Danes had good chances, and we had good chances. Taking the lead didn't give us that much assurance, but we did well at the back. We know where we are and that we can beat any team, but that we can also be beaten. You could see the fans were really on it today - that was the best atmosphere so far."

29 June: Eight years of hurt

Germany are in the quarter-finals of a major tournament for the first time since EURO 2016!

26 June: Völler on Rüdiger

"Toni did a light run this morning. As the saying goes, we have to take it day-by-day with him. In the end, he has to decide together with the coaching team and the medical department, which is doing an outstanding job."

vs

24 June: Two calm days

The plan for Monday is for players to go through their regeneration exercises, while those who didn't play last night will do some light training. Everyone will then have the day off tomorrow for a full rest. Nagelsmann will then turn attentions to Saturday's big game from Wednesday.

Gündoğan: "Had to overcome tough moments"

"After the emotions of the final minutes, joy is the overwhelming feeling. These emotions can spark something. We had to overcome some mentally tough moments today. Now we'll look and see what we can and must do better."

vs

Andrich: "A bit of Leverkusen mentality"

"We absolutely wanted to top the group. We expected a very tough game, but we defended well apart from the goal we conceded. It was important that we got a draw with the late goal. Now we'll see who we face in the last 16 and will prepare well."

vs

Nagelsmann: "Had to take risks"

"We took a lot of risks to get the point. We didn't play in behind enough in the first half. Then we made a lot of changes and brought on more speed. But we had 19 shots, so the equaliser was deserved, as well as topping the group."

vs

Kroos: "Totally happy with the team"

"We're happy we've done it. We believed till the end and showed that we can deal with going behind. We pushed for 90 minutes and got the reward in the end."

21 June: Undav talks Euros debut

Deniz Undav was delighted to get some minutes in Germany's win over Hungary in Stuttgart. It was the Brighton-owned Stuttgart striker's first taste of the finals, and third senior cap overall. "It was an amazing feeling for me," he told media. "The fans were singing [my name]. You could see on the pitch how happy I was. There's nothing better than making your Euros debut in your own stadium."

19 June: Switzerland draw with Scotland

In Group A's other group-stage clash, Scotland held Switzerland to a 1-1 draw in Cologne. That means that a point for Germany in their clash with the Swiss will be enough to see them go through as group winners.

vs

19 June: Neuer - "We are very happy"

"We were desperate to back up the performance against Scotland, and we knew it wouldn't be easy against Hungary, a team who have caused us problems in the past. We are therefore very happy to have won here in Stuttgart with a dominant performance"."

vs

19 June: Gündoğan - "Players around me are making it easier"

"I am always looking to fulfill my responsibilities on the pitch. I think, with each training session and each game we play together, we have a better feeling. I am playing in a different position than at Barcelona but the players around me are making it easier."

19 June: Germany beat Hungary 2-0 to move into round of 16

Julian Nagelsmann and Co. prevail in Stuttgart as they secure progression to the knockouts! Jamal Musiala opened the scoring before the break, and İlkay Gündoğan netted after the interval to put the result beyond doubt. Hungary had their moments, but ultimately didn't do enough to get anything from the clash. Germany play Switzerland in their final group-stage match, which is likely to decide who wins Group A.

vs

18 June: Julian Nagelsmann speaks on Hungary

"Hungary have a well-gelled team that has developed over several years. They are very physical, even if they didn't show that against Switzerland. They are good on the break and have strikers who are strong in the air. Szoboszlai is extremely good at taking set pieces, and Orbán can finish these extremely well. Hungary will have to be more attacking, as they are under more pressure than we are."

vs

18 June: Today's plan

It's the eve of Germany's second game against Hungary. They'll hold their final training session in Herzogenaurach at 11am before making the 200 kilometre bus journey to Stuttgart. Julian Nagelsmann and VfB defender Maximilian Mittelstädt will then speak at the pre-match press conference from the Mercedes-Benz Arena at 5.30pm.

17 June: End of the line this summer?

Neuer was also asked at his press conference if this will be his last tournament with Germany. "I can't yet reveal that, but I'll have a think about it after the tournament," the Bayern goalkeeper stated.

17 June: Neuer set for history

A player who's already redefined what it means to be a goalkeeper in football, Neuer is set to make further history on Wednesday as he plays his 17th game at a Euros finals. That will take him level with Gianluigi Buffon for most appearances in the tournament by a goalkeeper. He already holds that honour at World Cups.
