Italy vs Germany: Match Preview

Italy and Germany kickstart their respective roads to the Nations League finals this summer with a clash in Milan which promises to provide the pick of the action in this international break.

Two Goliaths of Europeans and world football meet in the first leg of the newly formatted Nations League knockout round, both looking to take a step towards securing a place in the final four for the first time in their respective histories.

Italy boasts an ever-improving squad littered with talent, including Inter Milan star Nicolo Barella, Premier League talents Destiny Udogie and Sandro Tonali as well as in-form striker Matteo Retegui.

Meanwhile, the Germans' young squad shows no sign of slowing, with attacking talent Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz offering a constant creative threat, while a defensive pairing of Antonio Rudiger and Nico Schlotterbeck would provide a tough test for any attacking lineup in the continent.
