Benfica take note, Newcastle player shines in Northern Ireland v Germany | OneFootball

Precisely one week before traveling to England for another Champions League journey, Nick Woltemade made his debut by scoring for Germany in the 1-0 victory against Northern Ireland. The German forward once again showed that he is in good form, putting Benfica on alert before the match with Newcastle.

The number 27 of the Magpies had a brilliant season with Stuttgart, which prompted the significant investment made by the Premier League club. Woltemade had already caught attention in matches against Portugal, notably the game against Germany in the Nations League semi-finals.

As a starter in Julian Nagelsmann's team, the German forward made the difference in a match that proved to be quite tight between the two sides. The hosts gave a scare when Ballard opened the scoring in the 16th minute, but the goal was disallowed by the refereeing team.

After overcoming the scare, the Mannschaft went back on the offensive and sought to show their overwhelming dominance. However, the best they could do was open the scoring in the 31st minute, with Woltemade making his debut on the German national team's scoring sheet. Northern Ireland did not give up, but the visitors managed to hold onto the lead until the final whistle.

A week before facing Benfica in the third round of the Champions League group stage, Nick Woltemade was not the only Newcastle player making headlines. The previous week, Joe Willock, brother of former Benfica player Chris Willock, went viral on social media.
