England have never lost a match at the Wembley Stadium in the finals of a major tournament, and they added to their tally of victories at the historic venue by beating Germany in the round of 16 on Wednesday. After the referee blew the full-time whistle, the focus soon shited from goalscorers Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane to the fans who were eagerly waiting for Joachim Low's men to bite the dust.
Soon after, some videos started doing the rounds, where we can see fans throwing beers in the air and singing 'Three Lions' and 'Sweet Caroline'.
England are finally unburdened by the weight of their agonising history against the Germans. This was a day more reminiscent, albeit with a long way to go in Euro 2020, of the 1966 World Cup final win over them on the same site.
Not that it came easily. Just like in England's two group wins, Sterling was on the scoresheet, breaking the tense deadlock in the 75th minute. But this time Harry Kane finally scored his first goal at Euro 2020, easing the pressure on the 2018 World Cup Golden Boot winner's shoulders.
"With all the expectation and pressure, we delivered," Kane said. "It's a moment none of us will ever forget. The perfect afternoon."
