This record maintained the senses factor around the side after their march in the quarters of Euro 2024, when they were hit in addition to one final target by Spain’s Mikel Merino.
The German audience had also seen enough with the young talents Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz to reach their top, the future looks bright for Die Mannschaft.
Before the game in Milan, Nagelsmann said: “Although we have to face some absences, we still have a very good team.” The quarterly final against Italy is very important to us.
Italy also seems to be in a decent position despite the resignation from the top position in Group 2 in Group 2 on the final day of the race.
The men of Luciano Spalletti needed only one spot at home in France at the top of the pool, but were hit 3-1, as Les Bleus won revenge for their defeat in Italy earlier in the campaign.
It was a nice bounce back for Azzurri after a disappointing Euro 2024 saw them lose in Switzerland in the 16th round.
