Germany's thrilling 5-4 aggregate victory over Italy secured their place in the Nations League semifinals. A standout moment came from 15-year-old ball boy Noel Urbaniack, whose swift ball delivery to captain Joshua Kimmich sparked a quick corner that led to a goal by Jamal Musiala. Urbaniack's remarkable contribution earned him significant media attention and a signed football. Following a nail-biting match which ended 3-3, Germany's focus now shifts to their semifinal clash with Portugal in June.
"It is unbelievable. I have never been involved in something like that," said Urbaniack, beaming and holding his signed ball after the quarter-final second leg in Dortmund.
"We had brief eye contact. I saw he wanted the ball and I quickly threw it to him. It was my first time as a ball boy."
