The Italian national team made a glaring and comical error, allowing Germany to score a second goal in the Nations League quarter-final match.
During a corner kick, the Italians failed to notice as Kimmich and Musiala quickly orchestrated a goal, meeting no resistance.
Donnarumma deflected Kleinindienst's shot, sending the ball out for a corner, and then tried to argue with the referee along with his teammates. The Germans easily capitalized on this situation, scoring one of the most bizarre goals in their history.
The referees awarded the goal, as offside is not possible during a corner kick. However, this moment became a vivid example of how a lapse in concentration can cost a team a crucial goal. This episode will go down in history as one of the most absurd mistakes by the Italian national team in major tournaments.
