Greece didn’t merely inflict the first defeat upon Jürgen Klopp in his new role last Sunday, but it was the first time Germany had ever been beaten in this fixture.
The Greeks were joyous at the 11th attempt, having first encountered Die Mannschaft in a 1962 World Cup qualifier. Its impressive start to the 2026–27 UEFA Nations League suggests that the 1–0 victory in Augsburg was no anomaly, with Serbia defeated on Matchday 1 and the Netherlands forced to fight back from 2–0 down to earn a point last time out.
