Germany are the Nations League's top scorers with 23 goals so far this campaign, four more than Sweden in second.
Germany are preparing for their UEFA Nations League semifinal clash against Portugal. Under Julian Nagelsmann’s leadership, the German national team has undergone a significant transformation. Since November 2023, Die Mannschaft have not lost a single match inside 90 minutes.
Their Nations League form has been particularly impressive as they have scored 23 goals across their last eight matches. That run includes a thrilling 5–4 aggregate win over Italy in the quarterfinals. While Portugal will pose a formidable challenge, Germany have every reason to be optimistic.
The match will be held in Munich on home soil, where they have won five of their last seven outings. Historically, they also hold a psychological edge, Germany have beaten Portugal in their last five encounters across all competitions. However, the hosts will be without some key players here. Antonio Rudiger, Jamal Musiala, and Kai Havertz have all been ruled out due to injury.
Notably, this is Germany’s first appearance in the Nations League Final Four. Meanwhile, Portugal return to this stage for the first time since winning the inaugural edition in 2019. The winner will go on to face either France or Spain in the final, while a loss would see them compete in the third-place playoff on the same day.
