Has Wembley staged a EURO final before?

The old Wembley Stadium – which was demolished in 2002 – hosted the EURO ‘96 decider. Germany were crowned European champions for a third time thanks to Oliver Bierhoff’s golden goal against the Czech Republic.

Thirty years prior to that, England’s 1966 FIFA World Cup triumph culminated at Wembley, the Three Lions beating West Germany 4-2 after extra time to lift the trophy on home soil.

In club competition, Manchester United (1968) and Liverpool (1978) have won two of the seven European Cup showpieces to have been held at the stadium. There have been two UEFA Champions League finals staged at Wembley since its reopening in 2007, with Barcelona prevailing in 2011 and Bayern triumphant two years later.
