(Reuters) - Switzerland are seeking to break through new barriers at the European Championship, having become a consistent presence at major tournaments but still without having any major impact.

This is their fifth appearance at the last seven Euro tournaments, since their belated finals debut in 1996, but the Swiss have chalked up only two victories and have never won a game in the knockout stages.
