Nations League Matchday Preview: Netherlands vs. Germany

The Jürgen Klopp era has officially begun for the German national team . After a string of frustrating performances since the 2014 World Cup triumph, the DFB has brought in the former Liverpool and Dortmund manager to right the ship.

FIFA is experimenting with an extended international window that will give Klopp a full two weeks to tinker with the lineup and test out new players across four matches in the group stage of the UEFA Nations League.

The toughest test comes first in a road match against famed Spanish and Barcelona midfielder, Xavi, as he settles into his new role as the Dutch manager. Like Germany, the Netherlands exited the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a frustrating 1-1 draw and elimination by penalty shootout in the Round of 32.
