Portugal is overjoyed with reaching the Nations League final at the expense of Germany. The players and national coach Roberto Martínez are proud that they have overcome the frustrations about the Germans’ opening goal.
Germany opened the score in Munich via Florian Wirtz in the 48th minute, but he was able to do that after Nick Woltemade from offside position hindered Portuguese defender Rúben Dias. Nevertheless, the arbitration, led by the Slovenian referee Slavko Vincic, awarded the goal.
Bernardo Silva couldn’t reach it with his head. “The referee does not know the rules. The player was offside,” he brewed afterwards against the Portuguese sports channel Sport TV . “It’s a shame that this happens in the final phase of the Nations League. The goal should never have counted.”
National coach Martínez also had his reservations. “I was quite surprised that the goal counted. It was clearly offside. But our reaction after that gives me a lot of satisfaction. This team has a lot of spirit. I am very proud of the players.”
Within a twenty-minute period of twenty minutes, Portugal turned into a lead thanks to a beautiful swallow of former Ajax player Francisco Conceição and an entry of forty-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo.
The first defeat in 25 years against Portugal hurt Germany. National coach Julian Nagelsmann spoke about “one of the weakest matches in a year and a half” of his team, which was weakened by the absence of Jamal Musiala and Antonio Rüdiger, among others.
Captain Joshua Kimmich was also critical. “We rightly lost. We were not good enough in the first half. Even when we arrived at a 1-0 lead, nothing of us ended up in the second half.”
“We have to learn from this,” Kimmich continued. “If we don’t perform 100 percent, we can’t beat a European top team. Today was one of our worst competitions if you look at our performance.”
