After a brief interlude, EURO 2024 returns with a bang as the knockout stages begin.
Now it’s time to look ahead to what day 16 of the tournament will bring.
Italy kick off the Round of 16 as the holders meet neighbours to the north Switzerland in Berlin.
Then all eyes will be on Dortmund, where hosts Germany do battle with Denmark for a place in the quarter-finals.
Granit Xhaka and Jorginho were briefly teammates at Arsenal but the Swiss captain heads into their latest meeting as a player reborn.
Free from an unwanted tag as the Emirates Stadium’s whipping boy, Xhaka helped Bayer Leverkusen win a first-ever Bundesliga title and has continued his form into the Euros.
If Murat Yakin’s side are able to pull off the improbable and dump out holders Italy, the 31-year-old will be key in winning out the midfield battle.
Anthony Gordon sported some interesting facial marks when he spoke to the media ahead of England’s last-16 meeting with Slovakia. Here was the Newcastle United playmaker’s explanation.
Switzerland 0-2 Italy
Germany 3-1 Denmark
