Germany XI vs Italy – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Germany head to Milan to take on Italy in the first leg of their UEFA Nations League quarter-final tonight.

Julian Nagelsmann’s side progressed to the last eight as League A Group 3 winners, with the Germans unbeaten across their six games.

It continues an encouraging period for Germany, who have lost just once in 15 games since the start of last year. That sole defeat came at Euro 2024, when the hosts lost in extra-time of their quarter-final with eventual winners Spain.

Since then, the likes of Manuel Neuer, Toni Kroos, Ilkay Gundogan and Thomas Muller have all retired from national duty.
