Germany kicked off their Euro 2024 campaign in style with a 5-1 win over Scotland on Friday. Young stars Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala, both 21, were the standout players, showing they are ready to lead the team into a new era.
The game, held in Berlin, saw Germany dominate from the start. Wirtz opened the scoring just 10 minutes into the game with a brilliant goal. Musiala followed up with another goal in the 19th minute, setting the tone for the rest of the match.
Scotland’s night took a turn for the worse when Ryan received a red card in the 44th minute for a reckless tackle, leaving his team to play the entire second half with ten men. Despite the setback, Scotland managed to score a late goal, but it was too little, too late against a strong German side.
Germany’s coach, Hansi Flick, praised Wirtz and Musiala after the match, saying, “They were fantastic tonight and proved that our future looks bright.”
With this big win, Germany made a strong statement and gained three important points. The performances of Wirtz and Musiala will be crucial as Germany aims to win the Euro 2024 tournament at home.
