Julian Brandt has admitted that the Germany squad held a crisis meeting in Qatar after admitting that the four-time champions are "in the s***".
Hansi Flick's men endured an horrendous start to their latest World Cup campaign, falling to a shock 2-1 defeat by Japan in their opening group game. It leaves Germany in a precarious position with a clash against Spain set to come on Sunday.
Another loss would likely end their hopes of progressing to the round of 16 and with it inflict the ignominy of being eliminated at the group stage for the second consecutive tournament. It is certainly a tough assignment for Die Mannschaft against a Spanish side that opened up their World Cup with a stunning 7-0 victory against Costa Rica earlier this week.
