At Euro 2020, staged in 2021, German media were astounded at how little England boss Gareth Southgate was using Jadon Sancho.
The winger - then aged 21 - started just one game and played just seven minutes in two other matches, including the final. Sitting across from him on the bench was 18-year-old Borussia Dortmund teammate Jude Bellingham, who was also getting German analysts excited.
He featured in three matches at the tournament although played 40 minutes fewer and stayed on the bench as the final went to penalties.
Today, ahead of Euro 2024, everyone is putting Golden Boy winner Bellingham as the first name on the team sheet while Sancho is not even in the squad conversation.
