Head coach Julian Nagelsmann talked about the team’s improvement following the semi-final loss to Portugal and what is in store for the national team in the upcoming games.

Germany is assured of its best UEFA Nations League finish after the team failed to reach the final stage in the first three tournaments in which this competition was played. France won this event in 2021, so this year's effort won't be its best finish, regardless of what happens on Sunday.
