Germany Italy 3:3 Player Ratings Nations League 2025 | Donnarumma, Maldini struggle

Germany booked their spot in the semifinals of the Nations League after 3:3 draw with Italy in Dortmund. It was literally a story of two halves, with the Germans scoring three unanswered goals in the first half, and the Italians doing likewise after the interval. The 3:3 draw, coupled with Die Mannschaft’s 2:1 first leg win in Milan, saw them win 5:4 on aggregate, and they’ll face Portugal in the last four.

Germany 3 (Kimmich 30 pen, Musiala 36, Kleindienst 45)
Italy 3 (Kean 49, 69; Raspadori 90+5)

Germany had 64% possession in the first half, and 18 shots to Italy’s 3 before the interval.

Second half possession was 50-50, but Italy scored three goals from six second half attempts.
