The now-England manager missed a penalty against Germany and was amazingly commiserated by the Oasis rock star, in his own inimitable way
Liam Gallagher was the first person to console Gareth Southgate after his penalty miss during England’s shootout loss to Germany at Euro 1996, and did so in his own inimitable style!
The two teams went head-to-head again on Wednesday, with Lukas Podolski’s brilliant long-range goal proving decisive, in his last ever international game.
The match served as a glorified testimonial for Podolski, but the encounter in 1996 – which ended 1-1 after 120 minutes – had a little more riding on it.
