Germany proved why they’re the best side in the world with an utterly dominant display in a 3-0 win over Slovakia in the last 16 of the European Championships on Sunday. The World Champions produced arguably the most complete performance of the tournament so far, and goals from Jerome Boateng, Mario Gomez and Julian Draxler ensured their safe passage through to the quarter-finals, where they will face off against either Spain or Italy. Mesut Ozil missed a penalty in the first half, but that didn’t come back to bite them in the end.
Joachim Low decided to start Draxler ahead of Mario Gotze for this one, and the Wolfsburg man, who has recently emerged as a summer target for Manchester United, completely justified his selection.
