Host City Munich expects atmospheric matches

The host city of Munich can therefore expect an atmospheric match. Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann said: "The opening game against Scotland is particularly emotional, of course. It's a very nice start. Scotland are a team who defend very compactly. They get a lot out of their emotionality. It will be a tough opener. But it's a nice way to kick off.  I know some of the players in Hungary and Switzerland who I've already coached myself, so they'll certainly be nice reunions. It's certainly not a group of death, but it's a very, very good group and we're looking forward to it."

The draw has provided us with exciting teams. Munich will be an excellent host for all travelling fans. We are looking forward to an atmospheric, peaceful and certainly exciting match!
