A very moving moment: Jakub Błaszczykowski starts his last walk as the Polish national team. The 37-year-old bows to the Polish and German fans. Both teams form a trellis and high five from Kuba when he is substituted. A few tears flow. The ex-Dortmunder deserved it.

Substitution for Poland: Jakub Błaszczykowski

Hofmann plays his way through a one-two with Wirtz down the right flank. Then he brings the ball flat in the middle. A defense attorney clarifies.

After a long ball, Błaszczykowski is clear. He was probably offside, but the scene continues. Thiaw starts a sprint, catches up with the ex-Dortmunder and takes the ball from him. That was heavily defended.

You can tell from the Germans that defensive stability is a priority. This has made it an uneventful game so far.

After an opening pass from Thiaw, Hofmann goes down the right flank. He crosses a little hastily into the middle so that the ball slips off and flies out of the goal.

Can plays a through ball into Hofmann’s run from the center line. Szczęsny is there and clears the ball just outside his penalty area.

The DFB-Elf is not really in the game yet. There have been some simple ball losses.

Poland take a first corner but an offensive foul ensues. There is a free kick for Germany.

Lewandowski has to drop very low if he wants the ball. Germany starts with a lot of possession, but hasn’t gotten into the last third so far.

20:51
Bednarek kicks Havertz in midfield with his open sole on the ankle. There should have been yellow for that. Apparently the referee didn’t get it right. There is only a free kick.

Germany plays with a back three. Rüdiger plays on the left, Thiaw in the middle and Kehrer on the right. Henrichs comes over the left wing. The right side is edited by Hofmann.

game start

In addition to Błaszczykowski, Lewandowski is of course in the starting XI for Poland. The captain’s armband will be worn first by Cuba. In addition, the Wolfsburg Kamiński starts on the left wing.
20:16
Wirtz, Musiala and Havertz are whirling on the offensive today. Füllkrug, who scored his seventh goal in seven internationals against Ukraine, is initially on the bench. Kimmich, who enjoys more offensive freedom by protecting Can, should take care of the opening passes.
20:10
Today Kehrer, Rüdiger and Thiaw are allowed to play on the defensive. The latter makes his debut in the national team. Maybe it’s a back three with Henrichs and Hofmann as wingers. Can is in the sixth position. But it is also possible that Germany will play with a back four. In this variant, Henrichs and Kehrer would be the full-backs.
20:04
For the DFB-Elf it is about reparation today. The poor performance against Ukraine on Monday caused a lot of criticism. Rudi Völler gave Hansi Flick a job guarantee, but with further performances of this kind, this promise is also likely to become shattered. Above all, the defensive vulnerability causes problems for the German team. In the past six international matches, Hansi Flick’s team has only kept a clean sheet once.
19:58
An old acquaintance is in the starting XI for Poland today. Jakub Błaszczykowski celebrates his departure from the national team. The 37-year-old is playing his 109th international match today. This puts him in second place among Poland with the most international matches. Only Robert Lewandowski has more. Kuba is substituted after 16 minutes. 16 was his shirt number for many years.

Hello and welcome to the friendly game of the German national team. Today at 8:45 p.m. the DFB team meets Poland in Warsaw.
