Fans on X (formerly Twitter) shared their opinions as 31-year-old forward Niklas Fullkrug's goal helped Germany finish the Euro 2024 group stage on top with seven points. Julian Nagelsmann's squad drew 1-1 against Switzerland on June 23 at Deutsche Bank Park.

Switzerland opened their scoring with Dan Ndoye's goal from an assist by Remo Freuler. The Germans found their equalizer in the last minutes of the match as Fullkrug netted from an assist by David Raum in 90+2 minutes.

German head coach Julian Nagelsmann shared his opinion on Germany's clash against Switzerland at Euro 2024 and said (via @iMiaSanMia on X):

"In the end it's a well-deserved point. Of course, on the counter, you take risks and can concede. We did well to come back. We deserved to equalise. Switzerland were a great opponent, it was an entertaining game. We did well, tactically.
"It's important to have players who can score decisive goals coming on as substitutes. We analyse the opponents in order to pick the starting line-up, and then you can bring in different players from the bench," added the German manager.

The DFB-Elf have won the UEFA European Championship thrice, in 1972, 1980, and 1996.
