Germany's dreams of a Nations League final on home soil were disappointed in Munich as Francisco Conceição's sizzling strike and Cristiano Ronaldo's finish overhauled the 48th-minute lead that Florian Wirtz had given Julian Nagelsmann's side. The result was disheartening enough, but the Germany coach was equally pained by what he described as "one of our weakest games in the last year and a half" and will hope, at the very least, for a more charismatic display against France, against whom they are winless in their previous four competitive matches.
While Germany were the victims of a comeback, France were nearly the architects of an historic one, trailing by four goals against Spain before fighting back to ensure a thrilling ending for the neutral and a nervy one for La Roja, who edged a 5-4 win in the highest-scoring Nations League match ever. Looking ahead to the third-place play-off, France coach Didier Deschamps is not quite sure what to expect: "It's going to be a different game. There will be changes for Germany and in our side, but we will try to recover and win."
Possible line-ups
Germany: Ter Stegen; Kimmich, Tah, Koch, Anton; Goretzka, Gross; Sané, Wirtz, Mittelstädt; Füllkrug
France: Maignan; Gusto, Konaté, L Hernández, T Hernández; Guendouzi, Rabiot; Olise, Cherki, Kolo Muani; Mbappé
