The German national team celebrated an impressive victory in football. On October 11, 2025, the national coach's team defeated Julian Nagelsmann in the stadium in Sinsheim the selection from Luxembourg won 4-0.

Captain Joshua Kimmich added two more goals, the first from a hand penalty in the 21st minute and the second in the 50th minute. Serge Gnabry rounded off the score in the 48th minute.

The Luxembourgers also had to deal with the red card for Dirk Carlson, which made the situation even more difficult for them. Despite a previous setback, the defeat against Slovakia (0-2) in qualifying, the DFB team gave a strong response with this victory and is now top of Group A, along with Northern Ireland and Slovakia, who also have six points. Nagelsmann stressed after the game that the victory was a model of “greed” and “biliousness” and made it clear that winning the upcoming game against Northern Ireland in Belfast is the top priority.

Kimmich's new role and team dynamics

Captain Kimmich impressed not only with his goals, but also with his flexibility on the pitch, as he played in a new role as a right-back. Nagelsmann values ​​this adaptability, which allows him to get the best players into shape. Bayern Munich players like Gnabry were in excellent shape and made a decisive contribution to the success. This strategic change in the player line-up is a sign of the good hand that Nagelsmann shows as a coach.

What is particularly noteworthy is the realization that the team can perform well even without injured key players such as Kai Havertz and Jamal Musiala. Nagelsmann made it clear that it is important to take the “baseline” and “soft facts” within the team into account in order to continue to be successful. His philosophy can be easily explained by the tension and dynamism in the team, which can go into the next games full of confidence after the 4-0 win.

In addition to the sporting successes, there is a larger context to Nagelsmann's coaching record. An analysis of Statista, which runs until September 2025, shows how Nagelsmann is positioned compared to its predecessors. So far he has shown positive development and is supported for his measures and team management.

The next game on Monday against Northern Ireland is an important step for the national team to consolidate their position in qualification and gain further confidence. The momentum from the Luxembourg game could be crucial to achieve another win in Belfast.
