kicker International press comments: "Mamma mia, what a Germany" 3 hours • 3 minutes reading time The DFB team started the European Championship on home soil with a convincing 5-1 win against Scotland. The critics are impressed - and the competition is afraid of the coming weeks. This is what international media are writing. The National: "Germany stormed out of the starting blocks and celebrated the biggest opening victory at a European Championship. The hosts showed their best side at the Allianz Arena, winning 5-1 on home soil." The Herald: "Germany's prospects of winning EURO 2024 on home soil were not exactly optimistic. It was difficult to understand why this was the case. Their passing, movement and finishing were breathtaking. Scotland were completely inferior from start to finish." Italy Gazzetta dello Sport: "This Germany is already scary. Spectacle and five goals against a non-existent Scotland. Mamma mia, what a Germany. The home team is playing great at 'their' European Championship. A rain of goals on poor Scotland and a great goal show from Nagelsmann's champions." Corriere dello Sport: "Germany unleashed. They give Scotland five at the start of the European Championship." La Repubblica: "The 2024 European Championship begins with a show from the home team. A dream debut for Nagelsmann's national team, which is already three goals ahead after the first half." Tuttosport: "Musiala shines, five goals for Germany at the start of the 2024 European Championship. A devastating Germany rolls over Scotland." Switzerland Blick: "Germans take the kilt off Bravehearts" Tagesanzeiger: "Germany degrades the Scots to suffering extras. The hosts couldn't have started the European Championship better. They lead 2-0 against the Scots early on and win 5-1. And show why they have to be counted among the tournament favorites." NZZ: "The Germans dominate the opening game at will. The hosts make a statement right at the start of the tournament." Austria Kronen Zeitung: "We would like to become European champions, for the fourth time in history, for the first time since 1996 - and Germany has now successfully overcome the first of seven hurdles to overcome on the way to the title!" Der Standard: "Germany opened the home European Championship with a show of force. The DFB team didn't give Scotland a chance" Kurier: "Goal festival at the start of the European Championship: Germany beats Scotland" Austria: "German shooters celebrate first EURO party. The DFB team got off to a sensational start in the home European Championship. Julian Nagelsmann's team shot Scotland out of the stadium in Munich with a 5-1 win in the opening match." England The Sun: "Shower for Scotland. The Tartan Army is pacified as the unbridled hosts pull off a sensational victory at Euro 2024 with a colossal win." Daily Mail: "The host punishes sloppy Scots." Daily Star: "Euro thrashing. Five-star Germany shoots Scotland down in a sobering performance by the Tartan Army." France L'Equipe: "It is of course too early to judge whether the German team will experience the summer fairytale that it has been hoping for so much since the 2006 World Cup, the last tournament on home soil, but it has certainly written a first chapter on Friday evening that looks very much like it." RMC Sport: "That's what you call a successful start. Germany, which is considered an outsider for overall victory at 'its' home European Championship, did not let itself be unsettled in its first game against Scotland on Friday in Munich." Le Parisien: "The DFB team is starting the 2024 European Championship with a steamroller. Against a modest opposition, Julian Nagelsmann's men showed the extent of their offensive power. After 90 minutes that seemed like a concert, the German team enjoyed the game and gained confidence." Spain Marca: "Germany, what a machine! In 45 minutes they destroyed Scotland thanks to their attacking spirit and Kroos' lead. Not even the hosts' usual fear in the opening game could stop the German machine with Toni Kroos and the horsepower of Musiala, Wirtz and Havertz." As: "Two devils on the loose in Munich. Musiala and 21-year-old Wirtz were the heroes of the German team's successful debut at the European Championship. Anyone who thought the hosts were not ready for their European Championship is wrong." Netherlands De Telegraaf: "Germany convincingly beat Scotland in the opening game of the European Championship. Preparations for the tournament were a little slow, but the convincing victory will further fuel the European Championship mood and the euphoria about Nagelsmann's team. The second youngest German national coach ever has convincingly breathed new life into the 'team'.
