Arsenal signing Lukas Podolski is seeking Euros glory with Germany this summer.
The striker, who will join Arsenal in the summer, was part of the Germany sides which missed out on titles in 2006, 2008 and 2010 and he now will not settle merely for a place in the final.
"Only the title counts, nothing else," he said.
"In recent years, we have always said that the semi-finals would be a success, but I think we can say we are ready to challenge for the title ahead of these finals."
