On Sunday, June 8, 2025, France defeated Germany 2–0 in the UEFA Nations League third-place play-off at Stuttgart’s MHP Arena, wrapping up their campaign with a confident, clinical performance in front of over 51,000 fans.
Germany began the match with purpose, dominating early possession and creating multiple chances. Mike Maignan was called into action early to deny Woltemade, while Lucas Digne made a crucial clearance to keep out a header from Niclas Füllkrug. Florian Wirtz nearly broke the deadlock for Germany with a low drive that struck the post in the 38th minute.
But despite their early pressure, it was France who struck first. Just before halftime, Kylian Mbappé latched onto a brilliant long ball from Aurélien Tchouaméni, cut inside from the left, and curled a stunning right-footed shot past Marc-André ter Stegen. It was a historic moment for Mbappé—his 50th international goal, solidifying his place as one of France’s all-time greats.
Germany thought they had equalized early in the second half when Deniz Undav found the net, but the goal was disallowed after VAR ruled Füllkrug had committed a foul in the buildup. France nearly doubled their lead soon after, with Marcus Thuram striking the crossbar and Mbappé forcing a sharp save from Ter Stegen.
The match was finally sealed in the 84th minute. Mbappé capitalized on a German error, drove forward, and delivered a precise assist to Michael Olise, who calmly slotted home into an open net to make it 2–0.
Mbappé was deservedly named Player of the Match, having contributed both a goal and an assist while showcasing his trademark speed, composure, and leadership. France, though missing out on the final, ended the tournament on a high. Germany, despite a promising performance, were left ruing missed opportunities.
It was a fitting end to the Nations League campaign: a match packed with quality, history, and a touch of brilliance from one of football’s brightest stars.
