Lukas Podolski dedicated the result to a waking Michael Schumacher after Germany topped Portugal, though confirmation that the racing driver had left hospital came as news to Löw. “If that is true, it is great news for everyone,” he said. “Michael has the best wishes of all of us.”

德国队战胜葡萄牙，卢卡斯·波多尔斯基把胜利献给苏醒过来的迈克尔·舒马赫。勒夫此前并不了解舒马赫伤情的最新进展。他说：“如果消息属实，对所有人都是好事，我们向迈克尔传递最好的祝愿。”
