Germany is seeking to win the UEFA Nations League…
Former Bayern Munich boss and current German national team team manager Julian Nagelsmann believes his squad will be ready to face off with Portugal in the UEFA Nations League.
“If we reach our best level, we can beat Portugal. That’s our goal. But we can’t go one meter shorter than we did in the best moments of the quarterfinal against Italy, because I consider Portugal to be a very strong team. We’ll give it our all to make it to the final in Munich,” said Nagelsmann (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Nagelsmann’s complete call-up list is below and was covered here by Bavarian Football Works:

Nagelsmann will be without several key players like Jamal Musiala, Antonio Rüdiger, and Kai Havertz due to injury.
“They all wanted to be there, which is a good sign. But I decided against [calling them up], even though one or two of them could’ve been able to get short appearances. We have to think about the fit players and the entire group. We have to make sure the three guys are fully fit at the start of the new season for Arsenal, Real and Bayern because we have a very important World Cup next year,” Nagelsmann noted.
