Julian Nagelsmann did not hold back after Germany’s win over Luxembourg on Sunday in the European qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. The coach admitted his team left plenty on the table but praised their hunger and said they could have run up the score. He called out Luxembourg for sitting back and said the red card barely changed the game, since the opponents dug in even deeper.
Nagelsmann gave Serge Gnabry a nod for locking down his defensive side and making moves up front. He said the Bayern and Dortmund players make up the spine of the squad, with Bayern’s strong season helping push Germany forward. Nagelsmann added that German players like Pavlovic, Tah, and Kimmich have stepped up and stayed consistent.
