Germany coach Nagelsmann says no pressure to prove himself

3 min readJun 29, 2026 12:54 PM IST Julian Nagelsmann stated that he feels no pressure to prove his worth as Germany prepare for their World Cup Round of 32 clash against Paraguay. The upcoming game marks a significant milestone for the four-time world champions, as it is their first appearance in a knockout match of the tournament in 12 years. After entering the World Cup with nine consecutive victories, Germany dominated Curacao 7-1 in their Group E debut and later clinched the top position with a last-minute win over the Ivory Coast. Despite previous early exits in the 2018 and 2022 tournaments, the team appeared to be cruising toward a 12th straight win until a surprising 2-1 defeat by Ecuador in their final group fixture ended their streak and sparked immediate concern among supporters. While the defeat had no consequences on Germany’s standing in the group, it piled on immediate pressure on Nagelsmann and his cohort. Germany have also conceded a goal in all three group matches they played. ALSO READ | Cape Verde …

Given ‘Absolute Underdogs’ Tag, Bayern Munich Agitated Ahead Of Bayer Leverkusen Champions League Clash

Given ‘Absolute Underdogs’ Tag, Bayern Munich Agitated Ahead Of Bayer Leverkusen Champions League Clash

German giants Bayern Munich are irritated by suggestions they are the outsiders in their high-stakes Champions League last 16 tie against Bayer Leverkusen. Bayern host Xabi Alonso‘s defending German champions in Munich on Wednesday, with the return leg the following Tuesday in Leverkusen. With resources and history that dwarf anyone else in Germany, Bayern are almost always the favourites when taking on other German teams, regardless of venue or competition. But pundits and bookmakers alike have tipped Leverkusen to make it through to the quarter finals, raising the ire of the Bavarians, particularly with Munich hosting this year’s final. Since appearing in back-to-back finals in 2012 and 2013, Bayern have only once failed to make it past the last 16 stage in 13 seasons — when they lost to Jurgen Klopp’s eventual champions Liverpool. Bayern powerbroker Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, who alongside Uli Hoeness grew the club into a European powerhouse, said his team felt slighted and would react. “Everyone has declared Bayer Leverkusen the favourite. I know our team — and it pisses them …

Jamal Musiala To The Rescue As Bayern Munich Go Six Clear

Jamal Musiala To The Rescue As Bayern Munich Go Six Clear

Jamal Musiala came off the bench to rescue an injury-hit Bayern Munich, scoring twice in a 4-2 win over lowly Heidenheim, sending his side six points clear in the Bundesliga on Saturday. With the top four sides all playing teams in the bottom half in this round, second-placed Frankfurt let a one-goal lead slip to draw 2-2 at home with Augsburg. Bayern dominated proceedings but were unable to turn pressure into points, with Harry Kane‘s absence telling. The German giants were one goal up at half-time after Dayot Upamecano headed from a corner 18 minutes in.  The France defender turned villain early into the second period when he passed directly to Mathias Honsak, who gleefully accepted the invitation to equalise. Bayern manager Vincent Kompany, whose side were eliminated in the German Cup by Bayer Leverkusen midweek, brought Musiala off the bench and the 21-year-old blasted in five minutes later.  Leon Goretzka‘s late goal put Bayern on course but Heidenheim scored again, this time through Niklas Dorsch, to keep the heat on the home …

‘Panicky’ Bayern Munich Held In Freiburg To Boost Bayer Leverkusen Title Hopes

Bayern Munich were held to a 2-2 draw at Freiburg on Friday, an 87th-minute equaliser from Lucas Hoeler giving leaders Bayer Leverkusen a chance to go 10 points clear. Mathys Tel’s 35th-minute stunner had cancelled out an impressive opener from Freiburg captain Christian Guenter, before Jamal Musiala‘s spectacular solo effort looked to have snared the three points for Bayern. Hoeler however had other ideas, chipping a volley through a crowded Bayern penalty area and past a helpless Manuel Neuer. Bayern manager Thomas Tuchel criticised his players’ “body language and lack of bite” in the first half an hour, telling DAZN “we played completely without structure and had no discipline and weren’t in our positions.” Calling his side “panicky”, Tuchel said: “We did things that we’ve never trained, that we’ve never spoken about. “We played like it was the 85th minute and we were a goal down.” Musiala told DAZN he felt “frustrated”. “Since I’ve been at Bayern it’s been in my head that we must win and we hate to lose.  We want to win …
