In a surprising turn of events on November 14, 2025, the underdog Luxembourg side nearly defeated the mighty German national team. Backed by a fantastic home crowd, the Luxembourgers showed up with immense tenacity and challenged the visitors with everything they had.
For most of the match, Germany struggled to gain control, as Luxembourg's pressing and direct play caused the visitors major problems. The Luxembourgers built up a solid defensive wall, making it difficult for Germany to create clear-cut chances. Their precise long balls and energetic play put the German defense under constant pressure.
However, Germany eventually found a way to turn the tide. Leroy Sané, who had recently switched clubs in the summer, played a key role in the comeback, scoring the two goals that secured the 2-0 victory for the visitors. Despite the narrow scoreline, Germany will be relieved to have escaped with all three points, as Luxembourg's performance was nothing short of impressive.
The match showcased the growing strength of the Luxembourg national team, who pushed one of the tournament favorites to the brink. Germany, on the other hand, will need to address their issues with handling pressure and making forward plays against the press if they hope to challenge for major titles in the future.
