UEFA has turned down a request from the mayor of Munich for the city's stadium to be lit up in rainbow colors for Wednesday's Euro 2020 match between Germany and Hungary.

Munich mayor Dieter Reiter had said he wanted to light up the stadium in the colors in protest against a new law in Hungary that bans the dissemination of content in schools deemed to promote homosexuality and gender change and restricts the media from showing content with homosexuality in programming accessible to minors.

Nunca una selección que perdió sus dos primeros partidos en la fase de grupos había clasificado a la segunda fase de la Eurocopa. Nunca. Hasta hoy. 

Detrás del milagro estuvo Dinamarca, el equipo con más carga emocional en todo el torneo.  

Países Bajos derrotó por 3-0 a Macedonia del Norte y avanzó a los octavos de final de la Euro 2020 con nueve puntos de nueve posibles. El director de orquesta en el triunfo de la clasificación fue Memphis Depay, quien disputó su primer partido como jugador del FC Barcelona. 

De hecho, varios aficionados catalanes saltaron a las redes sociales tras ver su exhibición, entusiasmándose con lo que podrá aportar al equipo en la temporada 21/22 y recordando que el traspaso del jugador, ex Olympique de Lyon, no tuvo costo.

As Danish journalist Tom Carstensen wrote over the weekend, Denmark knew that a victory over Russia on Monday could result in progress to the Round of 16, “but no one really cares about that. We are thinking about what is important: Christian Eriksen is alive.”

With a 1-0 victory over Ukraine at the National Arena in Bucharest, Romania on Monday, Austria punched its ticket to the Euro 2020 Round of 16 as Group C runner-up, meaning that they’ll play Italy on Saturday at Wembley Stadium in London.

Ukraine finishes third in the group, so they now face a nervous wait to see if they sneak into the knockout rounds as one of the four best third-place teams. History says they won’t, as three points and a goal difference of —1 wouldn’t have been enough at Euro 2016. 

MUNICH, Germany - Four German players nursing injuries from their 4-2 victory over Portugal skipped training on Monday, the team said, with attacking midfielder Thomas Müller's availability in doubt for their next Euro 2020 game against Hungary.

Müller, recalled for the tournament after more than two years out of the team, suffered a capsule injury in his right knee towards the end of Saturday's Group F win over Portugal as he attempted to clear a ball.
