  Andrich has been in fine form for Germany at Euro 2024, starting all of his side's games thus far. They beat Denmark 2-0 in the Round of 16 and are now preparing for a blockbuster quarter-final against Spain, and Andrich has revealed that mealworms are one of his favourite snacks.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The defensive midfielder has also undergone a hair transformation, dying it pink. He may enjoy mealworms whenever he can but they are actually illegal to import into the UK. They are regularly eaten in Europe, though, and are often either pan-fried or baked.

• WHAT ANDRICH SAID

  Speaking in a YouTube chat with Germany team-mate David Raum, he said: "I love mealworms. They are a good source of protein. In fact I don't just love them – I think they are awesome."
