'How Portugal's second golden generation face pivotal moment'

The Germany game was not just a humiliating defeat for Portugal, but the reality check for a team whose level of confidence going into a major tournament had never been so high.
For the first time, the Selecao were viewed as strong contenders rather than dark horses. The hype had escalated to such a point that the whole debate in the country revolved around whether this was the best Portuguese side of all time.
They will need to overcome a psychological hurdle that has troubled them in the past but that they assumed they had moved beyond. The thrashing by Germany revived it - an inferiority complex that left them trembling before games against big teams and held them back from fulfilling their potential in the past.
The build-up to tonight's game in Germany has been somewhat overshadowed by a row over the use of rainbow colours at the Allianz Arena.
Uefa has declined a request to light up the stadium in rainbow colours before the match.
Munich mayor Dieter Reiter made the request in protest against a new law in Hungary that bans the sharing of any content seen as promoting homosexuality and gender change to under-18s.
Uefa says it denied the request because of the "political context" - a stance Reiter described as "shameful".
What a difference a single football result can make to the outlook of a nation.
Germany came into Euro 2020 pretty down on its chances of success following a few years of upheaval, attempted reboots of the side, muddled thinking and a scheduled managerial change. The opening 1-0 loss to France, while not a disaster show, didn't help.
But then came the 4-2 win over holders Portugal, which showcased a swagger and skill few felt Joachim Low's lads were capable of producing in this tournament.
Now, there is renewed hope in Germany and a growing fear across the rest of Europe. Are the old tournament war horses going to ride again?
What happened last time out?
Portugal v France, Germany v Hungary (20:00 BST)
France were held to a surprise 1-1 draw against Hungary, needing an Antoine Griezmann goal to come from behind.
Attila Fiola had fired Hungary into a famous lead with chaotic scenes in Budapest.
Germany tore Portugal apart with an impressive attacking performance in Munich.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored a record 12th Euros goal but two own goals helped turn things round.
Germany won 4-2 in the end.
Team news - Sane in for Muller
Germany v Hungary (20:00 BST)
One enforced change for Germany for whom forward Thomas Muller is injured. Bayern Munich's Leroy Sane is handed the chance to impress in the place of his club-mate.
Other than that it is the same XI that destroyed Portugal 4-2 in their last match.

Who needs what?
Portugal v France, Germany v Hungary (20:00 BST)
France are already through because even if they finish third, four points will be enough. A win will see them top the group.
Germany and Portugal will both go through with a point, while Hungary will progress if they win.
There's a lot more to it than that - including who finishes where - but those are the basics.
Down to the wire
Portugal v France, Germany v Hungary (20:00 BST)
Everybody took a collective gasp when France, Germany and Portugal were drawn into the same group at Euro 2020 - and it hasn't let us down.
Going into the final round of group games, Germany and Portugal could both be eliminated...
Or else all three giants could go through...
