HAT OFF: Overwhelmed with Florian Wirtz’s perfect performance in Germany’s 5-1 victory over Scotland



The German team showed that they are the leading candidate in the championship race at EURO 2024 by overwhelming Scotland 5-1 in the opening match of Group A.The host showed strength and an impressive attacking style of play, leaving Scotland without a single shot on target.There, Wirtz really had an explosive day. It was his extremely quick kιck that brought the opening goal for the home team.Wirtz became the youngest German player in history to score at a EURO (21 years, 42 days), and the third German player in history to score in the opening match at a EURO, after Gerd Muller in 2015. 1972 and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in 1980.At the club level alone, this player has reached 20 goals and added 22 assists since the beginning of the 2023/24 season.Before Soctland, Wirtz was scored 7.6 points by Whoscored, equal to Toni Kroos, and only behind Jamal Musiala (8.8) and Kai Havertz (8.0) on the field.This player launched 3 shots and also achieved an impressive passing rate of up to 94%.Wirtz represents a new German team with the ability to play football directly.It is no coincidence that he was voted the best player in the Bundesliga last season.Surely Wirtz will be a player worth watching at this year’s EURO.
