After two group stage exits in the last three major tournaments.
German
The team hopes to summon the spirit of the 2006 World Cup - when Jurgen Klinsmann led his team to the semifinals. This year, Germany will be looking for a record fourth European Cup win. Young skipper Nagelsmann, who took over from Frick last year, has not had the best of starts, but victories over France and Holland in March suggest that the 36-year-old coach may be able to lead Germany to a brighter future.

A win would be a huge boost to Germany's confidence in winning the title.
Scotland
This followed an impressive run of Euro qualifiers in which they beat three-time winners Spain, Norway and Georgia. Head coach Steve Clarke became the first coach to lead Scotland to back-to-back Europa League appearances, building a solid squad and developing a system that can inspire the best performances from Villa captain McGinn and Manchester United midfielder McTominay. Can Clarke's side produce another surprise in this competition?
The two teams have met 17 times in their history, with Germany winning 8, Scotland 4 and 5 draws.
