Germany faced a challenging UEFA Nations League semifinal and third-place playoff, suffering defeats against Portugal (2-1) and France (2-0). Key player injuries affected their performance, yet they showed promise, particularly in the first half against France, where they created ample scoring chances but failed to convert. Jonathan Tah noted the team's effort and positivity despite the results, acknowledging that their aggressive second-half approach ultimately left them vulnerable to counterattacks. The matches highlighted both the challenges and potential for growth as Germany aims to improve moving forward.
"We gave everything today. The first half was great. The only thing that was missing was a goal. We could've gone into the break with a 4-1 lead."
"In the second half, the game got a bit wild. We pressed high and took more risks, which opened up spaces for France to counterattack."
