Despite the 0-0 draw against Greece, Klopp was still pleasantly surprised by Germany's performance.

Germany drew 0-0 with Greece in the fourth round of the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League group stage, after a goal by Bukat was disallowed. Although they couldn't secure all three points, Klopp expressed his surprise at the performance of the "German Machine."

In the 32nd minute of the match, Scherhant dribbled the ball into the penalty area and then passed it across to Bukat, who scored with a shot. However, after VAR intervention, it was determined that Tom Bishov's hand had come into contact with the ball during the earlier challenge, so the goal was disallowed.

Neither side could break the deadlock in the remainder of the game, and the match ended in a 0-0 draw between Germany and Greece. Germany currently sits in 3rd place in Group B with 5 points.

Germany coach Jurgen Klopp said, "I am very satisfied because I know what we have been through. I am very impressed with the team's performance. Rather than disappointed, I am more surprised. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would hardly believe that we could have played like we did in the first half."

“The players delivered an incredible performance, almost flawless in every aspect. The only regret is that we failed to convert the chances we created into goals and failed to notice our teammates in better positions in the attacking third in time.”

Klopp also said, "Around the 60th minute, our form started to fluctuate, and our running and teamwork began to lose their sharpness."

"But we played a game just a few days ago, and it is really difficult to maintain this pace for a full 90 minutes against a strong Greece."

In addition, Wirtz, the German midfielder who plays for Liverpool, said, "We put a lot of pressure on the opponent, but we just couldn't score that goal, which is really frustrating. Overall, we can be satisfied with our performance, and there are many things to be proud of in the game."

“We really wanted to win the game, but we couldn’t. Of course, we can’t say that we all played badly because of that.”

Wirtz added, "Being able to play for Germany is a dream come true. I really enjoyed the process and tried to show myself instead of hiding."

"It all happened so fast for me. Looking back at myself 5 years ago and now that I'm in the German national team, I still need some time to process it all."
