Tooor for Italy, 3-1 by Moise Kean
Is there anything else? Sané plays uncleans on Kimmich, who no longer gets right and the leather can only bend to Kean. The attacker goes towards the penalty area and then pulls off from a central position of 17 meters, the ball strikes tight at the bottom left, Baumann is without chance.

Half -time conclusion:
Then there is a break, Germany is very deserved 3-0 against Italy. It is an exhilarating appearance of the home side who gives the Squadra Azzurra no chance at all. It is also true in terms of intensity and backward movement, which means that an all -round successful first section is. The guests, on the other hand, have now been practically excreted, they need four hits for the extension. At least with a raised head you have to say goodbye to this game. From a German perspective, the game is of course extremely fun, we can be excited to see what is still coming. See you soon.

Tooor for Germany, 3-0 by Tim Kleindienst
It is a demonstration of the strength of the German eleven. Schlotterbeck anticipates well and wins the ball so high, passes on to Goretzka, who in turn puts through right into the sixteen for the free Kimmich. With his chip on the second post, he finds small service, which is physically robust against the Lorenzo and heads off from four meters. Donnarumma still comes there, but cannot prevent the leather from crossing the line.
43.
21:32
The Italian team just wants to take the break, which is noticeable to the players. Germany is now also taking a little rest, and the leather also circulates through its own ranks.
41.
21:29

38.
21:28
After a long time, the guests are in front again. As a result of a corner, Maldini comes to a direct acceptance from a half -right position, but clearly sends it over the long corner from ten meters. After all, you may be able to build on that.
36.
21:24
Tooor for Germany, 2-0 by Jamal Musiala
This is amazing. The subsequent corner quickly carries out Kimmich from the right, because all of Italy is busy with discussion at the penalty point, you struggle with yourself. Even Donnarumma is there and so Musiala, which is found with the flat pass of his teammate, can easily insert from a half -right position. A strange hit.
36.
21:24
That would almost have been the second goal! Rüdiger crosses from a half -right position to the first post, where small service tapes up and heads massively onto the short corner. Donnarumma defends the attempt over the crossbeam with a great parade, there is a corner.
35.
21:24
The appearance of the German team has nothing to be desired so far, Italy has completely under control due to the high pressing and the enormous use. So far it is a football festival in Dortmund.
33.
21:21

29.
21:17
Yellow card for Alessandro Buongiorno (Italy)
Buongiorno is also warned. He had no chance of the ball.
29.

Pens for Germany! The host combines well in the back and Italy has moved up. Goretzka sends small service to the right into the sixteen, the attacker is clearly cleared up by Buongiorno. A clear decision.
26.
21:15
Italy is pushed in at the back, Germany puts in the opponent with a lot of patience in the penalty area. Ultimately, Musiala with a clever short pass Sané on the right in the sixteen, whose shot from 15 meters is not a problem for Donnarumma at all.
24.
21:12
The performance of the German team is more than commendable, what is missing is the hit. Italy sees no country at all, hardly comes out in the back. In the center, Stiller shines through overview in the game structure.
22.
21:10
Yellow card for Angelo Stiller (Germany)
In high pressing, silent tonali steps on the foot, it is not his first foul. The first German player is now being warned.

20.
21:09
Musiala and Sané combine on the left with a double pass into the sixteen, but the first -mentioned attempt of the former can then be blocked. In the approach, the counterattack then runs over Maldini and Kean, but the counter insurance sits.

The intensity in this duel is really breathtaking, there are hardly any resting phases. The hosts press all over the field and make life extremely difficult for the Squadra Azzurra.
16.
21:05
Schlotterbeck succeeds in winning a high ball, so the DFB team can stay at the front. A flank from Kimmich on the second post clarifies di Lorenzo with his head.
15.
21:04
A free kick from Kimmich from the left ensures chaos in the penalty area of the guests. There are several header duels, and the ball can also cut up without Donnarumma getting out. Ultimately, Schlotterbeck commits an offensive foul.
14.
21:03
The duels are managed intensively, the DFB team has so far been extremely good and presses up. The Italians try a flat construction game and take a high risk.
11.
20:59
First, Goretzka is found with a good vertical pass, he passes on to his teammate Musiala centrally on the sixteen. Di Lorenzo took care and goes in between, otherwise it would have been a very good shot position.
9.
20:57
With a cross on the long post, Schlotterbeck is looking for small service from a half -left position. The attempt gets a little too long, so the striker cannot get behind the ball completely. The builders’ building game makes a good impression.
6.
20:54
Barella plays a rare bad pass to Musiala, which wants to send small service immediately. Ricci was careful and prevents the whole thing with a tackle. Germany is good here in the game.

1.
20:49
The hosts are in the front, small service extends a long ball to the left to the upset Mittelstädt. It takes the leather directly from 20 meters, but this is very complicated and so the attempt goes clearly over it.

Start of the game
20:40
At this moment, the teams are entering the lawn together with referee Szymon Marciniak from Poland. The game can start in a few minutes.
20:33
When looking at the statistics of this traditional duel, it is striking that Germany mostly had the better end for itself. The last victory of the Squadra Azzurra dates to 2012, and Balotelli eliminated at the European Championship, the DFB-Elf, almost single-handedly. Since then, however, seven games have been in the books without winning, but today one is at least that should be extended. We can look forward to an interesting game.
20:16
But you shouldn’t write the Italians completely. Especially the initial phase with the high pressing has shown that you have your strengths when you get it on the pitch. On the other hand, the weakness in opposing standards is blatant, so a lot has to be improved. With the 1: 3 against France and 1-2 against Germany, the Squadra Azzurra has lost the last two games against large opponents, the proof that they can keep up at the top is still pending. However, guests can go on one of their favorite places today, Italy has good memories of Dortmund, only the 2006 World Cup semi-final.
20:01
Germany goes into this second leg with a good starting situation. The decisive factor for this was the second half in Milan, when small service and Goretzka could eradicate early tour of Tonali. In particular, the substitutions for the break detonated, Schlotterbeck had got a grip on politano in the back left, small service at the front not only shone through his goal. Accordingly, the change in today’s initial formation can also be explained. Overall, the DFB team has been unbeaten since the fateful quarter-finals at the European Championship against Spain, all signs are at semi-finals.
19:47
At the beginning we want to take a look at the lists. At Germany, coach Julian Nagelsmann with Schlotterbeck, Stiller, Mitteldstädt and Small Service appoints four new ones compared to the first leg in the starting eleven. For them, space, large, Amiri and Burkardt have to give way. Burkardt was questionable, but is in the squad, especially the change from Schlotterbeck and small service have indicated. It will probably be switched to three or five chain. On the other hand, Italy coach Luciano Spalletti also rotates. Gatti, Buongiorno, Ricci and Maldini replace Calafiori, Politano, Rovella and Raspadori in the initial formation. This is re -set up the triple chain, only Bastoni remains in this, di Lorenzo moves out to the right. Overall, the approach will be similar to the first leg.
