🫣 Last missed in 2011: Germany U21 throwing away the Euros | OneFootball

This can't be true. While the German senior national team has regained its footing in the World Cup qualification after two consecutive wins, the U21 team is in deep trouble.

Antonio Di Salvo's squad is at risk of missing the 2027 European Championship in Albania. After the DFB juniors already lost 2-3 in the qualifying Group F last Friday, things are looking bleak against Northern Ireland as well.

After 45 minutes, Germany is trailing 0-1. Ruairi McConville had already put the hosts ahead after four minutes. If the current score remains, the German U21 will be six points behind the first-placed Greece after three matchdays.

They are also four points behind the second place, which would at least secure the playoffs. Just a little reminder: In the summer, the U21 only failed in the final against England at the European Championship.

A qualification exit - like in 2011 - should not be the expectation for the team, which includes several Bundesliga players like Tom Bischof (Bayern Munich). Let's hope the second half brings a few goals for Germany.
