Frankfurt, Germany: Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann said his team will play to win against Switzerland on Sunday, despite the risk of meeting in-form Spain in the quarter-finals.
Germany have already qualified for the knockout stages and will be first in the group with a win or a draw against the Swiss in Frankfurt on Sunday.
That will however put them on track for a match-up with Spain, who are also on course to top their group and have been among the best teams at the tournament so far.
"I think it's normal to discuss these topics," said Nagelsmann. "At the end of the day it's difficult to talk to your team and tell them to lose tomorrow.
"That doesn't make sense for competitive people. Normally you play a football game to win and tomorrow's a game to win."
