The German national team hosts Italy in the second leg of the UEFA Nations League quarter-final in Dortmund.
The first match in Milan ended with a narrow 2-1 victory for Nagelsmann's squad, and on home soil, the Germans left no doubt about the winner after the first 45 minutes. Donnarumma was forced to retrieve the ball from the back of his net three times, with Bayern's leader Joshua Kimmich standing out the most for the 'Die Mannschaft'.
The defender first converted a penalty and then assisted both Musiala and Kleindienst. Notably, Kimmich also provided two assists in the first match and has now been involved in all five of his team's goals against the Italians.
It should be noted that the winner of this tie will face either Portugal or Denmark in the semi-finals, who are also playing at this moment.
