Manuel Neuer is closing in on a record at the moment and is only three matches away from breaking an all-time appearances record for goalkeepers at major international tournaments. Iker Casillas and Gianluigi currently share the accolade with an impressive 31 appearances.

Germany have faced Hungary on only two occasions in major international tournaments, with both games taking place at the 1954 World Cup. Hungary's golden generation famously thrashed West Germany by an 8-3 margin in the group stages only to be stunned by a 3-2 defeat in the final, handing West Germany their first-ever World Cup.

Germany's four goals against Portugal made Die Mannschaft the first team to cross the 300-goal mark in major international tournaments. The fact that France come in at a distant second with 184 goals underscores Germany's immense clout in international football.

At only 22 years of age, Kai Havertz made history against Portugal by becoming Germany's youngest-ever player to find the back of the net at the Euros. The Chelsea forward has come of age this year and could play a pivotal role in what is set to be Joachim Low's final hurrah with Germany.
