With Italy hosting the first leg at the iconic San Siro Stadium in Milan, the home side will be looking to capitalize on their home advantage.<\/p><p>Despite their dominance in European football, neither team has yet triumphed in the Nations League. Italy have come close, finishing third in the last two editions, while Germany have yet to progress beyond the quarter-finals. With a chance to rewrite history, both nations will be highly motivated to secure an advantage ahead of the return leg.<\/p><p>Luciano Spalletti&rsquo;s Italy are in a transitional phase following an underwhelming Euro 2024 campaign, where they failed to meet expectations. Since then, Spalletti has focused on rebuilding trust among Italian supporters by implementing a more disciplined and organized approach. The Azzurri were impressive in the Nations League group stage, narrowly missing out on first place to France, despite a string of impressive performances. <\/p><p>Meanwhile, Germany have been one of the most dominant sides in the competition, finishing top of their group with an unbeaten record&mdash;winning four matches and drawing two. Germany accumulated 14 points, scoring a tournament-high 18 goals while conceding only four.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Iconic players, iconic moments.
