The striker came into Euro 2016 on the back of regular boos for club and country. This situation has turned around after a fine tournament on home soil continued in last night’s 5-2, quarterfinal triumph against Iceland.
His calm finish opened the scoring on 12 minutes, with a towering header just before the hour mark calming any nerves about an unlikely comeback.
A delightful flick to play in strike partner Antoine Griezmann for the fourth also highlighted his overall contribution to an improving attack. On this form, a Germany defence minus Mats Hummels will have plenty to fear from him on Thursday.
