The essential
- The Portuguese can already secure their qualification for the round of 16 if they are successful.
- Beaten in the first match, Germany must not lose to at least place itself among the best third group (4 out of 6 will go to the eighth). We have to go back to Euro 2004 to see an elimination of the Mannschaft in the first round.
- The two nations face each other for the fifth time in the final phase of a Euro (after 1984, 2000, 2008 and 2012). Germany won twice, for a draw and a Portuguese success.

17h35. Le match post « Coca-Cola gate ». The Seleção captain hit the headlines at the pre-match press conference against Hungary by replacing the Coca-Cola bottles with water. A gesture that would have brought down the action of the famous drink brand on the stock market.
5.30 p.m. CR7 on mission. Double scorer against Hungary, Cristiano Ronaldo became the top scorer in the history of the competition (11 goals) overtaking Michel Platini for his fifth disputed final phase.

They had finished among the best third, drawing three in three group matches to finally win the tournament for the first time in their history.
