'Semi-finals is the minimum' - Optimistic Low sets Germany's Euro 2020 target despite failing to defeat Switzerland

Germany boss Joachim Low has demanded his team reach the semi-finals of next year's European Championships despite struggling to a 3-3 Nations League draw at home against Switzerland.

The Germans showed strong resilience to fight back from 2-0 and 3-2 deficits versus the Swiss in Cologne, but have now only won one of their five matches since football resumed from the coronavirus-forced hiatus.

Chelsea duo Timo Werner and Kai Havertz pulled Germany back into the game after they conceded twice early in the match. but after falling behind once again, Serge Gnabry was needed to secure the home side a point.
