OLIVER HOLT IN DORTMUND: A green carpet runs from Dortmund's main train station, up the steps, through the city centre and all the way to the Westfalenstadion, where England meet the Netherlands on Wednesday night for a place in the European Championship final. Near the start of the carpet stands the Deutsches Fussball Museum, housed in a beautiful, modern building. There is a five-a-side court on the terrace outside and an England fans' embassy has been established next to it to help supporters flooding into the city that styles itself as the nation's football capital.

There was a time when the act of betting against Germany in a major tournament was deemed to be only marginally less advisable than plunging one's hand straight into a deep fat fryer. When the football-mad nation saw off Argentina in the 2014 World Cup final, they joined Italy as the only European team to have claimed the trophy four times. Yet, with three European Championships also to their name - a feat matched only by Spain - they have been, unarguably, this continent's preeminent footballing nation across the last 94 years.

Germany legend Lothar Matthaus has claimed the sale of Toni Kroos to Real Madrid is the 'biggest mistake' in Bayern Munich's history.  Kroos called time on his club career on Saturday after helping guide Real Madrid to their 15th Champions League title, and will hang up his boots altogether after the European Championship.  Goals from Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Jnr secured a 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund and ensured the midfielder signed out in style with his sixth European triumph after a decade in Spain. 

Lothar Matthaus, a German immigrant, believes that Xabi Alonso will decline all offers this summer in favour of remaining with Bayer Leverkusen. Alonso has earned acclaim for his extraordinary work with the Bundesliga team, moving them from a relegation-threatened position last term to eight points nad at the top of the German top-flight. The club's first-ever triumph in the tournament would be a win. Leverkusen is in the semifinals of the German Cup and the last-16 of the Europa League, having won without losing in the first seven months of the season.

Lothar Matthaus, a World Cup-winning captain and Ballon d'Or winner as well as the most capped German player in history, is a bonafide footballer. The first outfield player to play in five consecutive World Cups and one of just six players to have done so - the 62-year-old won the Bundesliga seven times with Bayern Munich and a Serie A title with Inter Milan. Matthaus, who was unquestionably one of the best midfielders in the game's history, has never been quiet, with the former Germany captain going through five divorces.

Dier, the Bundesliga champions, has loaned in Dier, who has played four games this season, and the Bundesliga champions are set to bid again for Trippier after having their first lowball attempt rejected. Matthaus said that welcoming a Tottenham benchwarmer or bringing in older players was not in keeping with the club's identity.

The Ghanaian Premier League's Accra Lions regularly field a first-team of 19 to battle-harden their youth players against men with points and livelihoods at stake. Lothar Matthaus, the owner and the unexpected celebrity in the hot seat, is James Francis of Essex, who began life as a youth mentor at David Beckham's first junior team, Ridgeway Rovers. We scout the best players, develop them, and hope that they will have the opportunity to play in Europe, Asia, or America,' says Francis.

Following Franz Beckenbauer's death at the age of 78, football legends, including Gary Lineker and Lothar Matthaus, have taken to social media to pay their respects to the German king's. The World Cup champion died on Sunday, and his family announced that it had done so, sparking a rash of emotion and memories from some of the sport's finest. In 1974 and later as a manager, Der Kaiser was a two-time Ballon d'Or winner and he won the World Cup with West Germany as a player and as a boss 16 years later.

When his German side lined up with Arsenal forward Havertz in defense for their final match of the current international break, the new German manager raised eyebrows. When Havertz scored just five minutes into the game, it seemed to have been a stroke of genius, but he had troubled throughout the remainder of the match, with Germany conceding three times and the 24-year-old giving up the penalty that led to the final goal.

Lothar Matthaus is elated about an Englishman in other countries. Harry Kane has just scored a hat-trick in Der Klassiker, and Matthaus can barely contain himself. 'Oh la la!I was watching the game yesterday,' he beams, before roaring: 'Great Harry! Fantastic Harry.' When a Bayern Munich behemoth like Matthaus - 410 appearances, seven Bundesliga titles - gets excited, something new is going on. 'Beautiful transfer! Not only for Bayern Munich, but also for Germany, where the 62-year-old hasn't lost none of his dynamism and zeal for the beautiful game.

After their criticism of the club's season so far, Thomas Tuchel has struck back at Bayern Munich legends Didi Hamann and Lothar Matthaus. Bayern defeated Borussia Dortmund 4-0 in Saturday's Der Klassiker, with summer signing Harry Kane netting a hat-trick in the impressive win. However, the team finished second in the Bundesliga after two draws in their first ten games, and many people thought it was a humiliation, including Matthaus, who said it was the club's worst result since the 1990s.

Lothar Mathaus, a former Bayern Munich midfielder, has accused Tottenham of 'blackmailing' the Bavarian giants into paying a team-record fee for Harry Kane. Kane was eventually dragged away from the north London club for a whopping £100 million following lengthy and lengthy discussions that culminated in the England captain's initial flight to Munich being postponed until the two sides clashed out the details. Tottenham's best striker had been playing for the club since 2009, but chairman Daniel Levy was hesitant to let the talismanic player go for less than a premium price.

Following his'sensational' FA Cup final appearance, John Stones has received a slew of praise, leading Manchester City one step closer to winning the treble. At Wembley Stadium on Saturday, his team beat Manchester United 2-1, and the defender stood out, with some, including former Liverpool centre Jamie Carragher, lauding the 29-year-old while comparing him to German football legend Lothar Matthaus.

Former Bayern Munich midfielder Thomas Tuchel has said that his old club stopped Juventus from purchasing him, but that the club has only signed Thomas Tuchel to prohibit Juventus from buying the German manager. After losing 2-1 at Bayer Leverkusen, the German Champions sacked Julian Nagelsmann after having a 61-minute crisis talk after the former Bayern boss ripped into his staff for having 'zero work rate.' Bayern had only lost three of the 27 league games under Nagelsmann this season, while also guiding the team to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Antonio Carbajal, Mexico's most popular former goalkeeper who appeared in five World Cups, has died at the age of 93. Carbajal set the record for 32 years after representing his country in Brazil, Switzerland, 1954, Sweden 1958, Chile 1962, and England 1966, before it was met by Germany superstar Lothar Matthaus in 1998. Rafael Marquez and Andres Guardado, as well as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, have since equalled his mark in Carbajal.

Harry Kane is considered "too old and expensive" for Bayern Munich to sign this summer, according to Lothar Matthaus. With his deal set to end in 2024, England's all-time top goalscorer is expected to leave Tottenham Hotspur for a new challenge. Kane, 29, has been linked to Bayern, Manchester United, and Chelsea, but it will no longer cost more than £100 million to buy.

Bayern Munich has been told by Lothar Matthaus that they do not need to be concerned' about Erling Haaland in their Champions League quarter-final match. Following the draw on Friday afternoon, the Bundesliga champions will meet Pep Guardiola's Manchester City in the next round of the competition. They'll be faced with the tough challenge of keeping Norwegian star Haaland - who has scored 39 goals in 36 appearances this season - on a quiet footing for 240 minutes of football - a tough challenge.

Following Hertha Berlin's highly rated teenage midfielder Teoman Gunduz, Brighton and Southampton are among the clubs. The 18-year-old has been captained by Turkey at U18 level, but the German national team's coaching staff is keeping him as one of the country's finest prospects. He is already drawing soaring comparisons to former Germany captain Lothar Matthaus and Manchester City's Ilkay Gundogan, an agile, adamant box to box midfielder.

Bayern Munich has announced the appointment of Michael Rechner as their new goalkeeping coach. After finding that Toni Tapalovic had leaked internal conversations to players, the Bundesliga champions had been without a member of staff in that position since he was fired in January. Bayern had a lengthy hunt for the person to replace Tapalovic and have now reached an agreement with Rechner over the position.

After several tumultuous interviews, Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer joined his colleagues in slating Manuel Neuer, but the goalkeeper insists that he would not be fired by the club. Neuer, 36, appeared in The Athletic and German newspapers, expressing his dissatisfaction with the club's decision to fire goalkeeper Toni Tapalovic - the best man at his wedding, who was accused of leaking chats to players and being fired as a result. A slew of Bayern Munich legends have slammed him, with Lothar Matthaus calling into question his future as captain of the club, while Oliver Kahn, the CEO, confirmed they will be speaking to Neuer about his remarks.

Neuer, 36, appeared in The Athletic and German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung to express his dissatisfaction with the club's decision to fire goalkeeper Toni Tapalovic, who was accused of leaking emails to players and sacked as a result. Numerous Bayern Munich legends have slammed him, with Lothar Matthaus questioning his future as the club's captain, while CEO Oliver Kahn confirmed they will speak to Neuer in response to his remarks.

Lothar Matthaus must be converted into Manuel Neuer, who said that the goalkeeper no longer has a right to be Bayern Munich's captain. Neuer sparked controversy in Bavaria when he openly challenged Toni Tapalovic's 'crazy' dismissal in January. Tapalovic had been Bayern's goalkeeper coach since 2011 and had previously worked with Neuer's in Schalke, but Matthaus has been suspicious of the unauthorised interview and believes a change of captain is now necessary.
