A4: Spain 6-0 Germany

When a team like Germany, four-time world champions, shoots their first shot on goal after 77 minutes, it speaks for itself. DFB-Elf were already 0: 5 behind, it was a disgraceful performance from A to Z. Only once in their long history did Germany lose even more: in 1909 they lost a 9-0 to England.

“The national team is so willing to be slaughtered here, it cannot be ruled out that Clemens Tönnies is now working for the DFB,” mocked “11 Freunde” magazine in its ticker after Spain’s 3-0 win.

Löw: “Everything was bad in every respect”

It wasn’t that national team manager Jogi Löw named a selection B. For example, world champions Manuel Neuer and Toni Kroos were in the starting lineup and a total of five Champions League winning Bayern Munich players. Löw’s position will now be more questioned than ever. He took over the national team after the home World Cup in 2006 and led them to the World Cup title in 2014. At the last World Championships, 2018 in Russia, the defending champion embarrassedly failed in the preliminary round. “Everything was bad in every respect, it was pitch black,” Loew initially tried not to speak well, which is not nice to talk about.

No returns from Hummels, Boateng and Müller

Löw said: “Nothing worked. We wanted to be brave and play forward, but neither the defense nor the offensive worked, nobody can be ruled out. ”On ARD, he once again rejected a possible return of the eliminated world champions Mats Hummels, Jérôme Boateng and Thomas Müller : “We were on the right path. Now we have seen today that we are not yet as far away as we thought and hoped. For this reason there is no reason to change anything at the moment, we trust our players.”

It is the manager’s decision who to appoint, said national team manager Oliver Bierhoff. “At some point you should accept that too, if it’s decided.” The confidence in Löw is absolutely there, “even this game doesn’t change things,” said Bierhoff.

Spain also deserved to win at this level, said Serge Gnabry on ARD: “We did wrong, apologies don’t help. Now you know where you are. This gives us food for thought. “The problem, Kroos said, was” that we couldn’t get any defensive access. Spain showed us how to defend ourselves. We have a lot to do. ” Goalkeeper Neuer agrees: “It’s just bitter and disappointing. It wasn’t enough for us, we screwed it up completely. We should have talked more, even that wasn’t enough when it came to communication. “
