Wild scenes of unrestrained celebrations broke out after the referee blew the final whistle in Friday's quarter-final between Germany and Spain at the Stuttgart Arena.

A unanimous "!Vamos!" was shouted by the Spanish stars, beaming after Mikel Moreno's goal in the last minute of extra time catapulted the national team into the semi-finals of the European Championships.

The 26-man squad posed together in the dressing room for a photo that will mark historic victory on German soil, Spain's first-ever victory over the hosts in the finals of a major competition.

France will now be the team's opponents in the semi-final in Munich on Tuesday 9 July, where Spain will be hoping to continue making history at the continental tournament.
