How many fans will be at Wembley for England vs Germany? Biggest UK attendance since pandemic expected for crunch Euro 2020 showdown

Around 45,000 fans will be at Wembley on Tuesday night to witness England’s Euro 2020 last-16 showdown against arch foes Germany.

The figure is the highest for a UK football fixture since the coronavirus pandemic first arose, with 52,267 fans in attendance at Anfield for Liverpool’s Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid back in March 2020.

Football fever is gripping the nation ahead of the crunch Germany showdown

22,500 supporters were allowed to watch England’s group games at the national stadium, but that capacity has increased for the knockout stages of the competition.

Should the Three Lions get the better of Germany – with the crunch match LIVE on talkSPORT – and manage to get to the final of the European Championship, it would mean that Southgate’s men would only play one match away from Wembley for the entirety of the tournament.

There will be an additional increase of 15,000 fans allowed into the ground for both the semi-finals and final.

Can Southgate trump Joachim Low and deliver Euro 2020 glory for England?

Germany were ten minutes from elimination but drew with Hungary in their last game to progress from the ‘Group of Death’, which also included the World Cup holders France and Portugal.

England, meanwhile, opened their Group D campaign with a narrow 1-0 win over Croatia thanks to a Raheem Sterling strike.

Gareth Southgate’s side produced a lethargic display in a 0-0 draw with Scotland at Wembley, but Sterling was on target again as England beat the Czech Republic 1-0 to top Group D.
