Germany vs Ukraine Player ratings- Euro 2024 Hosts Draw in Friendly Match
Germany vs Ukraine Match Overview
Euro 2024 hosts Germany began preparations for the championship with a disappointing 0-0 draw with Ukraine in Nuremberg. Die Mannschaft finished with a staggering 27 shots in the game, of which only five were on target. Ukrainian goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin did a phenomenal job keeping out their mighty forwards. The visitors were happy to sit back and frustrate their hosts, as the Blue and Yellow came for a draw and got exactly that.
Julian Naglesmann’s side play Greece on Friday in their next warm-up match, before kick-starting the tournament against Scotland, a week later. Meanwhile, Ukraine travels to Poland for their next friendly.

Germany vs Ukraine Player Ratings
Germany Player Ratings
Manuel Neuer- 6.5/10: A fairly comfortable outing for the Bayern Munich star, who saved all three efforts he faced from Ukraine
Joshua Kimmich– 7/10: Even when he wasn’t at his usual best, Kimmich managed 90% passing accuracy and created one good chance
Waldemar Anton – 6.5/10: His first start for Germany, Anton showed courage and willingness to take Ukraine’s forwards on and he came up trumps
Jonathan Tah- 6.5/10: A calm and reliable figure in defense for Germany with a good sense of positioning and awareness
Maximilian Mittelstadt- 8/10: A revelation at the left side of defense, Mittelstadt made a statement with an eye-catching performance, registering five key passes in the game and a game-high of 12 crosses. Defensively too, he was rock solid, making three clearances to keep everything kosher at the back.
Robert Andrich- 6.5/10: He was involved in the thick of the things but couldn’t conjure anything meaningful
Pascal Gross- 8.5/10: Germany’s man of the match, Gross turned in a fine display in the middle of the park, completing over 130 passes and creating three chances too. He also laid nine long balls as the Brighton star tried his best to make something happen out of nothing
Jamal Musiala – 6.5/10: His passing range was as impressive as ever, but couldn’t offer a direct goalscoring threat, which Germany desperately needed
Ilkay Gundogan– 5/10: The Manchester City star was so laborious and anemic, that he had to be hooked off at the break
Florian Wirtz- 5/10: Much was expected of the Bayer Leverkusen star following a stellar campaign, but he was a damp squib here
Kai Havertz– 5/10: Like his other attacking cohorts, Havertz too offered no great shakes in the offense for Die Mannschaft

Anatoliy Trubin- 7.5/10: He made five saves in the match to frustrate their mighty hosts and save his side from a defeat
Yukhym Konoplya- 6/10: He displayed good awareness and read the game well to make three clearances, but wasn’t effective going forward
Illia Zabarnyi- 6.5/10: The Bournemouth defender came up big for Ukraine with five clearances and one blocked shot, while also attempting to play out from the back which saw him play 11 long balls
Oleksandr Svatok- 8/10: What a legendary performance in defense by Svatok, who made nine clearances and blocked three shots; he could play a key role at the Euros for Ukraine
Mykola Matviyenko- 7.5/10: He made six clearances, blocked one shot and made two interceptions to round off a stoic performance in defense

Taras Stepanenko- 7/10: Ukraine’s skipper made three interceptions and blocked one shot, but his offensive play was limited
