On June 24th, in the final Group A match of the European Championship, Germany drew 1-1 with Switzerland. The German team, with two wins and one draw, finished top of their group with seven points and advanced confidently to the Round of 16. Gundogan offered his thoughts on the match, acknowledging that it was a challenging game and that the team did not perform at their best level.
Gundogan commented on the match: “To be honest, I don’t think we could have expected a better result. It was an extremely tough match for us. Although we controlled possession and created good chances, we only managed to equalize in the dying minutes. In this game, Germany didn’t play to its usual standard, and we lacked preparedness for conceding first. However, securing the group win shows that our efforts were not in vain.”
Gundogan then looked ahead to the upcoming knockout stage: “We want to showcase our full potential in the next matches and progress further. So, we need to improve our performance in the coming encounters.”
