Day six at Euro 2024 brought more thrills and spills on the pitch, with Albania sealing a last-gasp draw against Croatia and Germany booking their place in the last 16 by beating Hungary.
Scotland, meanwhile, kept their hopes of progressing from Group A alive by earning a creditable 1-1 draw with Switzerland in the late kick-off.
There was also plenty going on outside the games, from the Tartan Army painting Cologne blue to Kylian Mbappe getting out on the turf two days after breaking his nose.
Here, we run through the best of Wednesday’s social media posts from around Euro 2024.
Cologne turns blue for Scotland
One noticeable theme of this tournament has been the colour and noise brought by huge contingents of travelling fans, and an estimated 100,000 Scotland supporters brought the fun to Cologne on Wednesday.
“No Scotland, no party” was ringing around Munich last week, and on Wednesday, it was Cologne’s near-800-year-old cathedral that played host to the Tartan Army.

Those with tickets were then treated to a spirited performance as Steve Clarke’s side went ahead through Scott McTominay, and they were arguably unfortunate not to win as they finished the game strongly after Xherdan Shaqiri’s fine equaliser.
Cheesy humour from Swiss fan
One Switzerland fan, meanwhile, took culinary inspiration for his outfit at the RheinEnergieStadion.
Fortunately for him, Murat Yakin’s defence had fewer holes than the Swiss cheese he paid homage to, and they are now all-but guaranteed to make the knockout stages.
