The German football team can do it anywhere, even in… München. On Friday she was able to enjoy the original and genuine charm of the stadium in Zenica, Bosnia, in the 2-1 away win. This time she had to play in Munich, where, as is well known, football is played far away in the outskirts. The green hills with the wind turbines right next to the arena look a bit like the Teletubbies film set.

But Julian Nagelsmann’s team coped well with this atmospheric downgrade. And her fans were in the mood too. Before the game, many hearts warmed: The DFB said goodbye to Manuel Neuer, Thomas Müller and the truant Toni Kroos, who had won something for Germany many, many years ago. Some of the spectators in Munich were not yet born at the time.
