Germany had a nightmarish World Cup in the previous season in Russia. They couldn’t pass the group stage, losing against Mexico and Korea Republic and finishing at the bottom of the group. Moreover, the Euro 2020 (held in 2021) didn’t go as planned for Germany. Their Euro journey ended in the Round of 16 following a 2-0 goals defeat against England. The four-time World Cup winners Germany are expected to come back strongly in Qatar in November.
