But it went wrong for 'Little Sick Note', and he won't be picking up a medal (as a winner or runner up).

Germany set up a Euro 2008 final against either Spain or Russia after a last-gasp Philipp Lahm goal earned them a 3-2 win over Turkey in Basel.

Ugur Boral put a dominant Turkey in front in the 22nd minute but Bastian Schweinsteiger drew the Germans five minutes later and, despite never impressing, took the lead through a Miroslav Klose header 11 minutes from time.

Turkey scored yet another late goal through Semih Senturk to send the game heading towards extra-time but Lahm finished off the best Germany move of the match in the final minute to put them in the final.

Turkey were missing a host of key players through injury and suspension, and even though Emre was only 70% fit (as usual) he was on the bench.
