The German national team fought valiantly in a thrilling 3-3 match against Italy, clinching a semifinal berth in the UEFA Nations League. Despite a commanding halftime lead, Italy’s resurgence, led by Moise Kean's two goals and a late penalty, underscored defensive vulnerabilities. Julian Nagelsmann’s strategic adjustments featured standout performances from Tim Kleindienst and Joshua Kimmich, whose exceptional play, particularly in the first half, has fueled discussions for the Ballon d'Or. The upcoming semifinal against Portugal and other matches will take place in Germany, blending national pride with competitive spirit.
After the first leg, Nagelsmann made the proper personnel adjustments. Tim Kleindienst is in fantastic form and channeled the number nine of the German greats that came before him.
Since assuming the captaincy, Kimmich has been on a mission for both club and country. In the first half alone, Kimmich drilled a penalty kick into the side net.
