Germany seeks to close the pass to the second round against Hungary

The match between Germany and Hungary was engulfed by UEFA's controversial decision to reject Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter's request on behalf of the city council to illuminate the Allianz Arena in rainbow colors as a show of solidarity. with the LGTBI collective of the Hungarian country, where a regulation was approved that prohibits, among others, talking about homosexuality in school programs. UEFA's ‘no’, which wanted to emphasize that it is “a politically and religiously neutral organization”, was celebrated by the Magyar country and generated a stir that overshadowed the duel.

In sports, the accounts are easy for Germany. If it achieves a draw today, the ‘Mannschaft’ will be in the next round, either as second – as long as Portugal does not beat France – or as one of the best third places, while a victory could even catapult it to first place. On the contrary, the defeat could remove them from the Eurocup, so the match is seen as a final. On the Hungarian side, anything other than winning will leave them out of the tournament. Germany is expected to go on the offensive to try to open the lock on Hungary. In this mission, the coach Joachim Löw faces the problem of the probable absence of Thomas Müller, who could be replaced by Leroy Sané or Leon Goretzka.
