Wild animals included. The Germans, fresh off their 2-1 first-leg win, decided to spice things up in the second leg by throwing in both domination and disaster. Why win comfortably when you can make it heart-stopping?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7dfa1ca3f25ab6ead434c56fd60ad283\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>First-Half Germany: Bayern Mode Activated<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Germany came out like they\u2019d just been told the Italian team insulted bratwurst. High pressing, laser-sharp passing, and a Joshua Kimmich who apparently ate tactical awareness for breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The opener came via Kimmich (who else?), calmly slotting in a penalty in the 30th minute. Italy barely had time to say \u201cMamma Mia\u201d before Kimmich delivered a cheeky corner that caught the Azzurri snoozing. Musiala, looking like he was on cheat mode, tapped in the second. 2-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just when the Italians were about to ask for a timeout (sadly, this isn\u2019t basketball), Tim Kleindienst made it 3-0 with a bullet header from\u2014you guessed it\u2014another Kimmich assist. The man was on a mission: <em>assist or die trying.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At halftime, it looked like Germany was planning their celebration dinner at the nearest schnitzel house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignleft is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udcf8 After the Germany vs. Italy match, Joshua Kimmich approached the ball boy who reacted quickly to pass the ball to Kimmich for the corner prior to the 2nd goal.<br><br>Kimmich recognized him and gave him a signed ball. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BJXWuDLTvD\">pic.twitter.com\/BJXWuDLTvD<\/a><\/p>&mdash; The Touchline | Football Coverage (@TouchlineX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TouchlineX\/status\/1903949426906759670?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 23, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c9c3188922170842b114752d205c78ad\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Second-Half Germany: CTRL + ALT + Collapse<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Then came the second half. And boy, did <strong>Germany waste lead<\/strong> like it was out of fashion. Moise Kean pounced on a mistake four minutes into the restart, giving Italy a flicker of hope\u2014and Germany a panic attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suddenly, Nagelsmann\u2019s side looked like they forgot football has <em>two<\/em> halves. Kean returned in the 69th minute to cut the deficit to 3-2, bullying poor Jonathan Tah like it was recess in elementary school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Germany\u2019s slickness had vanished. The foot was off the gas, the GPS was recalculating, and the Italian comeback bus was rolling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then came the ultimate drama: stoppage time penalty, converted by Giacomo Raspadori. 3-3 on the night. 5-4 on aggregate. Italy needed just <em>one<\/em> more goal to complete the miracle. But fate (and probably Kimmich) said no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f487bf3822052d153a8d6a855f897ab6\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Kimmich: The Corner King<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a second to appreciate <strong>Joshua Kimmich<\/strong>. Four assists over two legs. That\u2019s more than some midfielders manage in a season. He delivered corners with the precision of a German engineer\u2014and took advantage of a ball boy faster than a Formula 1 pit stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this Nations League semifinal qualification were a group project, Kimmich would\u2019ve been the one doing 90% of the work while the others &#8220;provided moral support.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-40bc6624cd5c325a4fc3d02427c84b1c\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Germany\u2019s Split Personality<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Julian Nagelsmann had a very diplomatic take: \u201cIt was the best half, very impressive first half\u2026 then there are moments you concede a goal, then another\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Translation: \u201cWe played like world champions, then forgot how to play football.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The contrast between the two halves was sharper than an Italian suit. But give Germany credit\u2014they survived the Italian storm and still booked their ticket to the <strong>Nations League semis<\/strong>, where Portugal (and possibly Cristiano Ronaldo\u2019s perfectly groomed eyebrows) await.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4172d0308a41979b263375de8d684855\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Italy: So Close, Yet Spaghetti Slipped<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\u2019t fault Italy\u2019s fighting spirit. From being 5-2 down on aggregate to making it 5-4, they looked like they were channeling Rocky Balboa in the final round. Unfortunately, they needed one more punch and just ran out of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gianluigi Donnarumma might want to erase the memory of that quick Kimmich corner from his mind. Or at least buy that ball boy a coffee for being so&#8230; <em>efficient.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Italy vs Germany | Highlights | UEFA Nations League | 24th March 2025\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VyGAxKxYnzk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-89303a4e9b60a0ce05f4be74a89770cc\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>FAQs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1742809511177\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How did Germany vs Italy end?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The second leg ended 3-3, but Germany advanced to the Nations League semis with a 5-4 aggregate win.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1742809520476\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Why did Germany waste a 3-goal lead?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">They took their foot off the gas in the second half, allowing Italy to mount an epic (almost successful) comeback.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1742809531831\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Who was the standout player for Germany?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Joshua Kimmich.
