Euro 2024 hosts Germany lose 2-0 at home to Colombia
Ronaldo plays 200th game for Portugal and scores in win

Germany suffered a 2-0 home loss to Colombia in a friendly on Tuesday in their latest setback less than a year before they host Euro 2024, while Senegal thumped Brazil 4-2 in Lisbon with Sadio Mané scoring twice.

Luis Díaz’s 54th-minute header and Juan Cuadrado’s penalty in the 82nd gave the visitors their first victory over the Germans, who were booed at the end. Germany, who have less than a year to build a battle-hardened team for the continental tournament, had needed two late goals to draw 3-3 with Ukraine last week before Friday’s 1-0 loss to Poland.
