The German-American model made her allegiance clear, with her face painted in the colours of her homeland and a matching lei around her neck.

They had plenty of cause for celebration, with Germany – the Euro 24 hosts – decisively beating Scotland 5-1.

Klum shared several photos and videos throughout the event, showing her and husband Tom Kaulitz – a German musician – getting in the spirit before and during the game.

Before taking their seats in at Allianz Arena, the couple joined Leni and her boyfriend Ari Rachevsky for some steins and a classic German meal, with plenty of meat and pretzels.

Klum was the first German model to become a Victoria's Secret model, and in addition to modelling has hosted Project Runway and Germany's Next Top Model and, currently, is a judge on America's Got Talent.
