Sterling insists England not scared of France, Portugal or Germany

Raheem Sterling are not afraid of the prospect of facing France, Portugal or Germany in the Euro 2020 round-of-16

The Manchester City star scored for England in the 1-0 win over Czech Republic which sealed top spot in Group D.

They will now play one of the aforementioned clubs at Wembley next Tuesday.

Sterling told ITV Sport: "At some point you're going to have to face the best teams and that's the whole point of a tournament, to challenge yourself.

"Our objective from the beginning was to win the group. People were disappointed in the Scotland game but we didn't concede and that's the most important thing.

"We kept the ball better today, there was more attacking option and we got in the gaps really well and played some really good football at times."
