German national team legend Lothar Matthäus believes in the national team's triumph at Euro 2024.
Lothar Matteus, Getty Images"This positive tension, this expectation that everything will finally start. Now I have the same feeling as I used to have when our first game at a major tournament was approaching. On Friday, our national team will open the European Championship. I firmly believe that we can win the tournament. My prediction is that Germany will become the European champion.
I'm not annoyed by the surprisingly weak 2-1 in the last friendly against Greece. Our players are so good that we don't need to be afraid of anyone. And I fully trust Julian Nagelsmann.
In my predictions, I put Germany as the winner of the group. In the 1/8 finals, they will beat Serbia, and in the quarterfinals - Spain. In the semifinals, we will overcome Portugal, and in the final we will beat France," Matteus was quoted as saying by Sport Bild.
