+++ Update live ticker +++
11:10 p.m.: The performance of the German national team definitely makes you want more! It continues on Tuesday (March 26th, 8:45 p.m.). Then the Nagelsmann team will meet the Netherlands in Frankfurt. That’s it for today, goodbye and see you then!
10:54 p.m.: In November last year the German national team was on the ground, now the DFB team is making an exclamation mark in France. A successful start to the European Championship year!
90+4′: GERMANY WINS IN FRANCE! National coach Nagelsmann’s team ultimately deservedly won 2-0 in Lyion thanks to a strong second half. Very important for the DFB team!
90′: There are four minutes of injury time – Germany is on the verge of a respectable success.
89′: And the next debut! Waldemar Anton comes into play for midfield strategist Kroos. There are now four VfB players on the pitch. A confirmation of a strong season for the club.
87′: WHAT A SALVATION! Rüdiger scrapes the ball off the line in desperate need and prevents an own goal from DFB debutant Mittelstädt – a strong move by the defense chief.
80′: The next DFB debut! VfB striker Deniz Undav comes into the game for the strong Musiala. This is a dream come true for the attacker; he still has ten minutes to score his first goal.
79′: Germany is still superior, it’s a really strong game from Nagelsmann’s team. France hardly ever takes offensive action anymore. Germany is closer to the third goal than France to the first – that’s an announcement!
71′: The first changes in the DFB team. Wirtz and Gündoğan leave the field, Führich and Müller come into the game. For Führich it is the second appearance in the DFB uniform. Just under 20 minutes left to play.
60′: Germany has significantly more control of the game after the goal in the second half. The DFB team now has the game well under control, France no longer comes in front of Ter Stegen’s goal too often.
50′: Germany got off to the best possible start in both the first and second half. Wirtz and Musiala work magic – a strong performance from the two youngsters.
48′: 2-0 Germany! Things also happen very quickly in the second half. Wirtz plays an outstanding ball to Musiala, who curves around Samba and passes it to Havertz. The Arsenal player just has to push in – a fantastic move by the DFB team.
46′: Go on! Germany continues to play courageously forward and has its first shot on goal in the second half. However, Havertz’s shot goes wide of the goal.
45′: The DFB team can, among other things, thank Ter Stegen for the fact that the score is still 1-0 from a German perspective. Germany’s number two made several brilliant saves and secured the lead. The second round continues straight away.
45′: Break in Lyon! The German national team leads 1-0 against France. Wirtz put Germany ahead after just eight seconds. France had a little more of the game in the first half and more chances to score. Germany is still very stable and has managed to defend everything so far. The second half promises a lot of excitement.
30′: It goes back and forth. It’s a lively game so far. It’s unlikely to last just one goal this evening. The French assault continues, but Germany is holding up well. A good performance by the DFB team so far!
20′: Things are getting more uncomfortable for the DFB team. France has finally loosened the handbrake and the hosts are now coming in front of the goal every minute. The German leadership is shaking tremendously.
15′: France has shaken itself up and is now much better in the game. Mbappe and Dembele in particular always cause danger. But the German defense still has a leg in the way.
7′: The game has now calmed down a bit after this lightning goal. Germany is doing well in the game and has been much more present so far. The French seem to have to digest the goal first.
3′: What an amazing start to this game. Less than ten seconds had been played and Wirtz shot Germany into the lead. Even in this first scene, Kroos shows how important he is to the team. A tailor-made start for black-red-gold.
1′: WHAT A START! After eight seconds the DFB team is leading! After kick-off, Toni Kroos plays a direct pass to the front and Wirtz finishes from almost 20 meters – leaving Samba no chance. An incredible action, Germany is leading!
KICK-OFF: Into the game, the referee blows his whistle.
8:55 p.m.: The stadium is sold out, the atmosphere is good. Almost 60,000 spectators came to the Groupama Stadium. Everything is set up for a big evening of football.
8:50 p.m.: There are still ten minutes until kick-off and things are slowly getting hot. The national anthems of both nations will be played shortly. After that it gets sporty. The whole of Germany should be watching this game.
8.40 p.m.: Before the game, national coach Nagelsmann demands one thing above all from his team. Courage. He wants his team to appear courageous right from the start, despite many changes and a strong opponent.
8 p.m.: The lineups are out, national coach Nagelsmann sends this eleven onto the pitch from the start: Ter Stegen – Kimmich, Tah, Rüdiger, Mittelstädt – Andrich, Kroos – Witz, Gündoğan (C), Musiala, Havertz
7.30 p.m.: At the last meeting between the two top teams, interim coach Rudi Völler was still on the DFB bench. At that time, Germany won 2-1 in Dortmund’s Westfalenstadion with goals from Thomas Müller and Sane. Can the DFB team repeat this success today?
7:17 p.m.: It will be particularly exciting to see how the DFB newcomers do. There are three newcomers: Maximilian Mittelstädt, Waldemar Anton and Deniz Undav. All three players play for VfB Stuttgart. Storm jewel Maximilian Beier from TSG Hoffenheim is also in the national team circles for the first time.
6:48 p.m.: The whole of Germany is looking forward to the game against the French. Will the DFB team manage to ignite the EM hype? We’ll tell you here where you can watch the game live.
6:23 p.m.: A lot of attention will also be on DFB returnee Toni Kroos. Can the Real star take the Germans’ build-up game to another level? Defensive play has been a big problem for the national team recently. How is Kroos doing on his comeback?
5:35 p.m.: At the press conference before the game, Nagelsmann already revealed a large part of his lineup. Above all, the offensive line-up has already been decided: Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala and captain İlkay Gündoğan will form the line of three behind Kai Havertz. “It is important that we also have players on the field like these three who have the ability to shape games and make decisions in the offensive area,” emphasized Nagelsmann.
5.30 p.m.: Julian Nagelsmann and the DFB team have suffered several bitter blows in the neck in the past few days. Two newcomers, Aleksander Pavlovic and Jan-Niklas Beste, were canceled at short notice. In addition, regular goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was injured in training and traveled back to Munich. Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen will guard the goal for him.
