There was more in it! David Raum pushes energetically on the left again and brings the ball from the baseline to the penalty to Havertz. In a promising position, the Chelsea star is delivered well and can only drop to Müller in the back. But that also fails.
40
21:27
So far, Jamal Musiala has been the most conspicuous in the German offensive game. On the one hand, because the 19-year-old keeps asking for the ball and, thanks to his great technique, prevails in direct duels. On the other hand, however, also because he consistently separates from the ball too late every time and does not find his way to a better-placed teammate.
38
21:24
But Germany continues to put the pressure on and is now consistently up front again. After a cross from the left, Havertz cannot assert himself in the air at the second post, but at least gets a corner out. But this does not pose any danger.
37
21:23
Klostermann goes far ahead, helps with the pressing and also conquers the ball, but then plays a weak pass that doesn’t find Müller.
35
21:21
After all the injury interruptions, the game is currently a bit out of breath. Germany has more possession and is more active, but doesn’t get a chance at all.
33
21:19
Sterling is now on the floor while Hofmann and Trippier are back. Kimmich had previously given the city star a full horse kiss. But here, too, things will probably continue.
31
21:16
Geez! While running backwards, Trippier clears a ball with his head into the side and then uncontrollably falls his head on Hofmann’s heel. apparently both players got something and are treated on the lawn.
29
21:15
On the other hand, Havertz headed a chip ball from Müller into Pickford’s arms. It’s going back and forth at high speed and both teams are now increasingly making deals.
28
21:14
Schlotterbeck’s next mistake almost leads to 0:1! The 22-year-old gives up the ball in his own penalty area and after a Kane cross pass from the right, Sterling narrowly misses in the middle of the five.
26
21:12
The guests are in front again and Sterling gets a corner against Klostermann. After Trippier’s cross, Neuer drops the ball in a dogfight with Maguire, but Kane chases the thing just over from five yards. That was close!
24
21:10
The VAR will briefly check whether an Englishman may have deflected the ball in the direction of Hofmann, but that was not the case.
23
21:09
Now the ball is wriggling in the English net, but the goal doesn’t count. After a long shot from Schlotterbeck, Hofmann ran away and outsmarted Pickford, but the player from Gladbach was clearly offside on the pass.
22
21:08
Nico Schlotterbeck plays with fire for the second time and this time puts the ball straight into English feet. Immediately comes the deep pass to Harry Kane, who cannot claim the ball.
19
21:06
Germany is still the more active and powerful team, but has not yet come to any high-quality deals. England is very secure defensively and tries to switch quickly after winning the ball.
16
21:02
Dortmund’s Bellingham is making his 14th cap for the Three Lions at the tender age of 18 and taking on the second role of six alongside Declan Rice. Behind them, the guests surprisingly act defensively today with a back four with Trippier and Walker on the outside positions.
14
21:00
Jude Bellingham comes on as a substitute for England
14
21:00
England come off the bench with Kalvin Phillips
13.
21:00
Phillips doesn’t seem to be going any further. The Leeds United midfielder is down on the pitch again and suggests it’s over. Outside, Jude Bellingham is getting ready.
11.
20:58
Phillips is back on the pitch, Germany is back on the gas. Jamal Musiala pulls in on the left corner of the penalty area and shoots powerfully from 17 meters, but is immediately blocked. A handball is briefly criticized, but there was probably nothing.
9.
20:55
Nico Schlotterbeck and Kalvin Phillips rattle their knees in midfield. The future Dortmunder gets away with the shock and apparently hasn’t gotten anything, the Englishman has to be treated on the lawn.
7.
20:53
Now the guests have arrived and are getting stronger. First, Rüdiger has to block a cross from Sterling, then Neuer intercepts a rather harmless long-range shot from Kane.
5.
20:51
Germany is extremely self-confident and aggressive here and hardly lets England come into play. Only after five minutes did the Three Lions show themselves in the opposing half, but Rice couldn’t get past Rüdiger with his cross attempt.
3.
20:48
Rüdiger extends a Kimmich corner at the first post in the direction of Müller, but Walker clears the Bayern attacker at the last second.
2.
20:47
The first degree! With two new players joining the team, left-back David Raum sends Kai Havertz into the box, who lands a shot from the left at keeper Jordan Pickford from a tight angle.
1.
20:46
Here we go! The guests from England clink glasses dressed in blue, Germany wears classic black and white. However, not in the usual look, because the Flick-Elf is playing in the jerseys of the women’s national team today to send a little greeting to the DFB girls before the upcoming European Championships. For their part, they had played in the black Euro jerseys of the Löw-Elf before the last men’s European Championship.
20:45
As previously announced, before kick-off the German team will take part in the anti-racism knee-drop, which is always practiced by the English. In contrast to the last game of the Three Lions in Hungary, this action in Munich is not considered with whistles.
20:41
The game will be officiated by a Spanish team led by FIFA referee Carlos del Cerro Grande. The referees have already lined up with the teams on the pitch and are listening to the national anthems at this moment.
20:30
The last edition of this classic was not long ago and many German fans will not remember it fondly. In the round of 16 of the EM 2021, an uninspired Germany lost 0: 2 in the last game under Jogi Löw to ripped off Englishmen. The two goalscorers Sterling and Kane are also in the starting XI today.
20:16
The English even messed up their Nations League start completely and lost 1-0 to outsiders Hungary. However, coach Gary Southgate was far from able to call up his best eleven, as a number of professionals are not operational at the end of a long and exhausting Premier League season. Nevertheless, Southgate and his young team want to continue on the path that brought them to the European Championship final last year. “Games like this are brilliant for us. It’s exactly the kind of test we need,” said the 51-year-old, who still sees Germany alongside Brazil as the “benchmark in international football”.
20:07
In the duel with European champions Italy, the German team lacked commitment for long stretches. Hansi Flick then criticized that his team “let themselves be bought” and “lacked the necessary intensity”. The national coach doesn’t want to let that get away with the strong English team today. “It’s about the willingness to be active,” clarified Flick. Nevertheless, the 57-year-old was also optimistic ahead of the upcoming classic. “We go into the game with a good feeling,” promised Flick at the press conference.
20:01
England coach Gareth Southgate makes five changes. John Stones is back to replace Conor Coady in the central position in the back three. Only Declan Rice remains in midfield, with Bukayo Saka, Kalvin Phillips and Kieran Trippier rotating in. For this, BVB star Jude Bellingham, among others, has to give way to the bench. Instead of Jarrod Bowen, this time Raheem Sterling starts on offense alongside Mason Mount and Harry Kane.
19:55
A look at the line-ups: Hansi Flick had announced some changes in advance and is putting his words into action. In total there are seven changes in the German team compared to the Italy game. Only Manuel Neuer, Antonio Rüdiger, Joshua Kimmich and Thomas Müller were there from the start on Saturday. Lukas Klostermann, Nico Schlotterbeck and David Raum are also starting today in the back four, İlkay Gündoğan in the centre, Jonas Hofmann and Jamal Musiala on the wings and Kai Havertz as a striker.
19:46
Both teams didn’t really get the start of the new Nations League season right. The DFB selection did not get more than 1-1 with a newly formed Italian team, England even had to admit defeat 0-1 in Hungary. So today’s game has a trend-setting character for both sides, because only the first-placed team advances to the semi-finals after the group stage.
19:45
Hello and welcome to the UEFA Nations League! At 8:45 p.m., the classic between Germany and England will take place in the Allianz Arena in Munich!
