Germany wins the EM 2021 for the first time.
At 4-2 over Portugal, the events rolled over - the international press is enthusiastic.
Munich - it works!
Germany returned impressively with a 4-2 win over Portugal.
The team of national coach Jogi Löw burned off a real fireworks display in the second group match of the EM in the Allianz Arena and shot the Portuguese out of the stadium.
And that despite the fact that the European champions opened the scoring - Cristiano Ronaldo himself took away the Germans' initial euphoria (15th).
The DFB-Elf was not deterred and from then on played themselves into a frenzy.
Ruben Dias (35th) and Raphael Guerreiro (39th) own goals turned the game around shortly before the break.
After changing sides, Kai Havertz (51st) and Robin Gosens (60th) crowned their strong appearances with hits.
Diogo Jota shortened again in an exciting game (67th), but the Germans brought the lead over time.
Hero of the day: Robin Gosens.
Not only the German fans celebrated the winger - the international press also sang hymns of praise.
We asked around in Europe and summarized the reactions.
