Italy manager Luciano Spalletti has called for something extraordinary from his side as they prepare to overturn a first-leg deficit against Germany in their Nations League quarter-final second leg on Sunday.

Two European giants will clash on Thursday in the first leg of their quarterfinal in the UEFA Nations League when Italy welcomes Germany to San Siro.

Germany will visit Italy at the San Siro for the first leg of the UEFA Nations League's quarterfinals before the return leg that will take place on Sunday. Julian Nagelsmann's side are coming from an unbeaten streak of six games as the last game they lost was the quarterfinal of Euro 2024 against Spain while the Azzurri finished level on points with France in Group 2 of the Nations League.
