Despite making the decisive penalty save, the Hamburg goalkeeper was unaware that he had sent his side into the final
Julian Pollersbeck did not realise he had sent Germany into the final of the European Under-21 Championship when he saved Nathan Redmond's penalty.
Pollersbeck was the hero for his side after denying the England midfielder, ensuring Germany triumphed 4-3 in the shootout following a 2-2 draw in Tychy on Tuesday.
Germany will face Spain in the final but Pollersbeck was unaware of his achievement in the heat of the moment.
"I didn't really get it during the penalty shootout," the goalkeeper said.
