Pretty much.  Back to back Euro finals, a World Cup SF and QF. Plus a Nations League SF albeit that's not really a major tournament. In the 50 years before him there were only 2 semi finals, one of them in a home tournament (as an aside he played every minute as a player in that one). Appreciate there has been some luck with draws and other teams going out early etc but there have been other favourable draws before that haven't worked out.  There must be more to it than simply playing "easy" teams when it's multiple tournaments in a row.
