After a strong UEFA Nation league group stage, Germany’s head coach, Julian Nagelsmann will guide the team into quarterfinals against Italy. In 2021 the European Champions was a challenge for Germany as they suffered under the attack of Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala and Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz.

However in this season, Wirtz will miss the first leg due to his yellow card and might prove to be a setback for the team. Luckily Nagelsmann’s influence will be clear in the team and will have a chance to prove himself.
