Germany loses Portugal: Finale in Munich without DFB-Elf!

Stuttgart, Deutschland - On June 5, 2025, the German national team lost 1-2 in the semi -finals of the UEFA Nations League against Portugal.

The tournament is contested by the four teams of Germany, Portugal, Spain and France, whereby the games can be followed by numerous spectators. The tournament has already meant a bitter setback for the DFB-Elf, since it now only has the option to achieve third place.

The semi-final game took place in the Allianz Arena with 65,823 spectators. Germany took the lead in the 48th minute through a goal from Wirtz. But Portugal turned the game: Cristiano Ronaldo scored the decisive winning goal for the guests in the 68th minute. Another important detail is that goalkeeper Ter Stegen, who had been injured since September 2024, celebrated his comeback in the goal of the German eleven.
