Underdog Danes 'can't wait' for Germany clash

Denmark defender Jannik Vestergaard has backed his underdog side ahead of their last-16 meeting with Euro 2024 hosts Germany on June 29, saying that “everything is possible”.

The Danes drew 0-0 with Serbia in Munich on June 25, but qualified second in Group C after the England-Slovenia match finished with the same scoreline.

England topped the group on five points, and with Denmark and Slovenia equal on three points along with head-to-head record (they drew 1-1), goals scored and assisted (and even disciplinary records), the former progressed in second due to having a higher European qualification ranking.

As a result, Denmark – who reached the semi-finals of Euro 2020 – will face Germany in Dortmund.

“Everything is possible,” Vestergaard told MagentaTV after the game. “The Germans are a strong team. We need a really strong performance and to stop Germany from showing their best form.”
