Italy hosted Germany in the first leg of the UEFA Nations League quarter-final. Both teams have not won the Nations League since the tournament was established. Italy have won third place in the last two seasons, while Germany have never passed the quarter-finals.
Coach Luciano Spalletti has begun to regain the trust of fans after his disappointing performance at EURO 2024. Their home record is very impressive. Spalletti's 3-5-1-1 system has also gradually shown its effectiveness.
On the other side, Germany stopped at the quarter-finals of the Nations League at home last summer. Coach Julian Nagelsmann is looking for his first title as German coach and the Nations League could be a great opportunity to boost his confidence ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
It is quite a pity that this training session, the Italian team will not have the services of Mateo Retegui and Federico Dimarco due to injury. Germany are also without stars Florian Wirtz and Kai Havertz.
