Three years (and one day) ago, Switzerland pulled off one of the biggest shocks at Euro 2020.

To the surprise of pretty much everyone, the Swiss came from 3-1 down to beat tournament favourites France and send them packing.

Late goals from Haris Seferovic and Mario Gavranovic helped tie the match and send it to penalties - which they eventually won 5-4.

Neither of those players are part of their squad in Germany but fans will hope they can still conjure up some of the same magic tonight.

We're still over an hour and a half away from kick-off at the Olympiastadion but that hasn't stopped the fans from partying!

Supporters from both nations have been seen embracing the festivities ahead of the game - with plenty of face-paint on show.

It's also absolutely scorching in Berlin at the moment, so there's been a few ice creams accompanying the pre-match pints.

After the final set of group stage fixtures on Wednesday, the knockout round matches were confirmed and there's some tasty games ahead.

England fans will be well aware that the Three Lions will be in action on Sunday afternoon when they take on Slovakia in Gelsenkirchen.

Meanwhile, after this afternoon's match, hosts Germany will take on Dortmund in a highly-anticipated clash in Dortmund.

The most exciting fixture, however, will certainly be France's meeting with Belgium on Monday - a repeat of the 2018 World Cup semi-finals.

After lifting the Euro 2020 title at Wembley, it's been a fairly difficult time for the Italian national side.

They failed to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar and have now endured a relatively underwhelming start to Euro 2024.

And it hasn't taken long for Luciano Spalletti to show his frustrations, as he ripped into a reporter after their 1-1 draw with Croatia.
