It has been five matches and four months since Germany last conceded a goal, coming in a devastating 2-0 loss to hosts France in the Euro 2016 semi-final. Since then, they have scored 18 goals, with eight of those coming in the last match against San Marino.
Remember when…
Germany beat Italy on penalties at this summer’s European Championships in France after extra time with the scores level at 1-1.
