These nations league half league were a big disappointment for two nations that hoped to go to the end: Germany and France. The Nationalmannschaft, which hosted this Final Four on its lands, thus took the door by losing 2-1 against Portugal, which will challenge Spain in the final. A Roja who rolled on the Blues despite this almost tricolor quasi-remountada at the end of the match. Germans and French will therefore compete in Stuttgart in the early afternoon (3 p.m.) for a place on the podium of this League 2025 nations.

A match that falls in the middle of transfer window, with a majority of players already on vacation around the world, but that the players of the two selections absolutely want to win. This is also the case with coaches, both under fire of the criticisms of their respective supporters and media. This match for the third position will therefore have nothing of a friendly duel.

Cherki should be holder

Julian Nagelsmann should also take out heavy artillery to overcome the Blues. Marc-André Ter Stegen will be present in the cages, protected by a central hinge made up of Anton and Tah. On the sides, place in Mittelstadt and Kimmich. In front of this four line, the former Bayern coach will entrust the keys to the truck to Goretzka and Gross, with the Playmaker Wirtz in a slightly more advanced position. On the sides, Gnabry and Sané will try to set fire to the tricolor defense and serve the offensive reference Fullkrug.

On the French side, Deschamps must still deal with numerous injuries, in the defensive sector in particular. We will therefore have an unprecedented central hinge composed of Badé and Lucas Hernandez in front of Maignan, while Digne and Gusto will be the side of the day. The environment will be a little more classic, with Tchouameni and Rabiot. Sensation facing Spain, Cherki should be aligned from the start of a number 10 role. Barcola and Dembélé being injured, Marcus Thuram and Randal Kolo Muani are likely to be the holders on the sides, while Mbappé will be the tricolor cutting off this afternoon.
