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.

Bundesliga Team of the Week (Round 25) 2024-2025 season

Another week (GW25) of the Bundesliga was completed, and somewhat surprisingly, it was a week where none of the home teams managed a win.

Even the likes of Bayern Munich and Leverkusen were unable to get results, with the former slumping to a shock 3:2 loss at home to Bochum and the latter going down 2:0 to Werder Bremen.

Not surprisingly, Bochum’s stunning result saw them get quite a few entries in the team of the week for MD25 from both reputed German outlets Kicker and Bild.
