Defender Antonio Ruediger said Germany’s recent tournament failures were “history” after the hosts qualified for the Euro 2024 knockout stages with Wednesday’s 2-0 win over Hungary. Germany were dominant in beating the Hungarians in Stuttgart just days after thumping Scotland 5-1 in the tournament opener and became the first team to qualify for the knockouts.
