Nepszava: “The game was better, but the end was the same. Much more flashy football than before was not enough against the Germans. It looks bad, but it is not hopeless yet.”
Spain
Brand: “Even without the steamroller, it’s Germany. A harder win than expected for the hosts, but a valuable one.”
AS: “Gündogan is worth his weight in gold: a goal and an assist from the FC Barcelona midfielder were enough to beat the Hungarians and qualify for the next round early. It was a battle – but when the going gets tough, the stars of this team come into their own.”
France
The team: “Germany was irresistible at the start of their European Championship and confirmed their success against Hungary. A balanced game against a team organized in a 3-4-3 system that caused problems for the hosts for a long time. However, they had too many resources, especially in midfield, not to beat a technically limited opponent. The trio Wirtz-Gündogan-Musiala hurt Hungary – and Toni Kroos ruled in midfield.”
England
TheSun: “Home advantage: Germany is in the round of 16. Sounds routine, but it is a signal that the Boys from Berlin are back after their recent problems. The victory was also thanks to the impressive athleticism of the experienced goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.”
DailyMail: “Two thoughts come back to me more and more strongly with every Germany game in this tournament. One is that they are becoming more and more the favourites and the other is the identity of the foolish soul who allowed Jamal Musiala to walk away from English football. What a wonderful player and what a reason for England to kick themselves that this connection with his homeland has ended with the U21s.”
Guardians:
“The Germans have momentum. It wasn’t quite the exuberant football they showed against Scotland, but it was more than enough to impress a lively crowd who, by the end, felt they could start to believe.”
Italy
Sports newspaper: “It wasn’t as easy as the opening match, but Germany took their second win and are already in the round of 16. Neuer is one of the best, along with Musiala and Gündogan.”
Sports newspaper: “Big party in Stuttgart, where the German team confirms what it did well on its debut.”
Austria
Crown: “PINK PARTY – Germany storms into the round of 16! It can now play against Switzerland without much pressure.”
Austria: “Pink Panther definitely in the round of 16. Germany did it, dominant and in control.”
Switzerland
View: “First shaky, then confident: Germany in the round of 16. The pink jersey is certainly not suitable as pajamas; against Hungary, Germany must be wide awake from the first second. Brave Hungarians remain unrewarded.”
Daily Advertiser: “After a tough game, the victory was well deserved: Germany beat Hungary. The opponent did not make it as easy for coach Julian Nagelsmann’s team as the Scots had done before.”
