Germany coach Hansi Flick has admitted his team have “a lot of work to do” to be ready for a tilt at the Euro 2024 title, just over a year before hosting the tournament. 

The four-time world and three-time European champions on Tuesday slumped to a 3-2 home defeat in a friendly against a Belgium team who were dumped out of last year’s World Cup in the group stage. Germany also exited the tournament in Qatar at the first hurdle, for the second straight World Cup, to continue a disastrous four-year spell by their high standards.
