Southgate adamant England not looking beyond Ukraine

“We’ve got external expectations and this team have been to two semi-finals (the World Cup and Nations League),” the England manager said.

“We said after the game with Scotland that we didn’t want to be involved in a defeat that was going to be rerun for years and years. I’m quite happy for that game never to be shown again.

“The fact is the game the other night (against Germany) will be. But that’s for the future. That’s when we’re reflecting or sat doing something else.

“Now, this is the next step, the next opportunity - the opportunity to get to a third semi-final for us in the last few years, a second major tournament semi-final and you’ve got to go back to Sir Alf’s time to be able to do that.

“It’s another chance for the team to make history.”
