Germany's national football team began their post-Euro 2024 era with a commanding 5-0 victory over Hungary in the UEFA Nations League, highlighting standout performances from Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz. Musiala, who scored a goal and assisted three others, was instrumental in orchestrating the win and was named man of the match. This match marked a new chapter for Germany following the retirements of key players like Toni Kroos and Ilkay Gündogan. Despite their dominance, coach Julian Nagelsmann emphasized the need for a 'killer instinct' to finish games earlier. Off the pitch, Musiala revealed that Manchester United's Joshua Zirkzee had tried to persuade him to move to Old Trafford. Additionally, Bayern Munich's Max Eberl expressed disappointment over Musiala's exclusion from the 2024 Ballon d'Or shortlist despite his stellar season.
