Serge Gnabry (Bayern Munich)
October 2025

Germany crushed Luxembourg 4-0 in World Cup qualifying after an early Luxembourg red card reduced them to ten. Serge Gnabry struck after halftime and pressed relentlessly, tracking back throughout. Julian Nagelsmann labelled it his best Germany display in a long time and a model of hunger.
Germany’s dominance stemmed from numerical advantage, compact counter-pressing, and wide overloads enabling Gnabry’s high-intensity off-ball runs and recoveries. Nagelsmann labelled him a role model for “top players.” In Group A, Germany, Northern Ireland, and Slovakia sit on six points, with Germany ahead on goal difference.
