This evening was especially for Ronaldo, who was able to win against the DFB team for the first time at the age of 40. Despite a challenging game in which he initially looked rather pale, he was able to lead his team into the final of the Nations League. "It is impressive how Ronaldo manages to play at this level even after so many years," said Joshua Kimmich, who was one of the few top performers of the German eleven.

Portugal's coach Roberto Martinez showed a good knack with his changes to set the crucial impulses for success. On the other hand, the German team was affected by the lack of important players such as Jamal Musiala and Kai Havertz. These gaps on the defensive could not be closed in time, which leads to a critical analysis of the previous performance of the DFB-Elf.
